First, thanks frog for that listing of Chamber's recordings. I've long admired his playing but had no idea he was so active during his short (sadly) career. It seems now there was hardly time to go on the road with any one group!
Regarding Nina, we've discussed her before. But I liked the observation of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. While I never thought of her in those terms it does make sense. For my taste, what tied it all together was the emotion she conveyed in her performances.
Also frog, while it may not have been at Curtis, I remember reading that she did train as a classical pianist before turning to jazz. Was that true?
