JEREMY STEIG AND BILL EVANS

WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, ABOUT 1968, I DISCOVERED JEREMY STEIG. HE IS A FANTASTIC FLAUTIST, AND A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AFTER ROLAND KIRK AND YUSEFF LATEEF. IT WAS ANOTHER NEW DIMENSION IN MY SEARCH FOR NEW JAZZ. THIS MAN MUST BE THE MOST UNDERRATED FLAUTIST IN HISTORY! HE MADE A REMARKABLE ALBUM WITH BILL EVANS, "WHAT'S NEW" AND I WAS HOOKED! HE MADE MANY ALBUMS SINCE THEN. I WISH HE WOULD COME TO AUSTRALIA! HE RECORDED WITH MIKE NOCK. MIKE NOCK....... WORLD CLASS PIANIST.
