When I blogged about jazz pianist Johnny Costa the other day, I felt I didn't give him enough name promotion. I gave him and his work for Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood credit for my love of piano jazz, and I linked to the official Johnny Costa web site. I didn't mention that four of his five albums appear to be purchasable at Amazon.com.

I'd like to amend my previous mention by saying that I finally acquired Classic Costa, and it's incredible. I expected some fairly traditional stride piano jazz, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth, so original, so engaging, so elegant. Maybe it's just been a while since I've added a new jazz pianist to my collection, but I'm so wonderfully grateful to have it. I will be eagerly collecting the remaining few albums Costa has recorded.
