You know, I grew up in a variety of piano musicians and artists flowing music into my ears. Let me name a few:
Johnny Costa†, Vince Guaraldi and his trio, Kirk Casey, Kent Jolly, Anna Karney, Robi Kauker, Jerry Martin, Marc Russo, Trammiel Starks, just to name a few. I also need to give a special shout out to the BBC Radiophonic and Mike O'Donnell & Junior Campbell, and Bryan Daly; but again those are just musicians which are a credit to my taste in music in general.
†Of course, Johnny Costa cannot be mentioned without also naming Joe Negri and The Reverend Fred Rogers, but that's straying firmly into jazz.
Some of those names, very famous. Others lived in the background of the weather forecast. I'd like to highlight Johnny Costa's works outside of the Neighborhood. Of which I choose to present:
Tea for Two.
