John Allred, Jeff Barnhart, Danny Coots - The ABCs Of Jazz (2009)

John Allred - trombone; Jeff Barnhart - piano; Danny Coots - drums; Dave Stones - bass.

Jeff Barnhart, one of the top stride pianists on the scene today, and the versatile and very fluent trombonist John Allred, join with drummer Danny Coots and bassist Dave Stone in a wide-ranging repertoire, which includes three obscure Fats Waller tunes, an unlikely medley, a long-forgotten Hoagy Carmichael song, numbers by Sonny Rollins and Charlie Haden, and a pair of dixieland warhorses in presenting an unusually eclectic program of The ABC’s Of Jazz.
