1 "Crescent" - John Coltrane I never get tired of listening to it. "Miles Smiles" - Miles Davis Sounds so fresh Bartok String Quartets - Hungarian String Quartet wonderful writing for a small group "Interstellar Space" - John Coltrane very powerful music "State of the Tenor" - Joe Henderson Henderson at his best "Symphony in the Movements" - Stravinsky New York Philharmonic/ Mehta "Songs in the Key of Life" - Stevie Wonder Great songs which keep getting re-recorded, my kids play it too. " Most Materiall" - Evan Parker/ Eddie Prevost by two brilliant British musicians Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 Concertgebouw Orchestra/Haitink "Witness" - Dave Douglas recently borrowed this from a friend and I like it.

The English saxophonist/bass clarinetist Harrison Smith is perhaps better known in his home country than in the U.S.A., or to some extent in Europe. He is a diverse player who has performed in both the avant-garde, freer end of the music, as well as in the jazz mainstream. His recent quartet C.D. Outside Inside has been received with much acclaim internationally.
