Been digging the MIles Quintet 1965-68 and In A Silent Way sets the lastcouple of days. Moved on to

I recall seeing the Mike Gibbs Orchestra around this time at IIRC The Rainbow. Maybe it was a year or so later, possibly Gary Burton was guesting. Can anyone refresh my memory.

Have this one and love it.

This reminded me that I hadn't visited this great music for a while. Disc one from this and disc six from the Quintet 1965-68 box. Can't get enough of the rhythm section, Hancock's magical, but then so are Carter and Williams..

I have an early vinyl of this. US jacket, French lp - remember those. Just got the cd in the five cd set. I like it as it reminds me of those terrific nights at Ronnie's where the Shepp band's first set was A Portrait of Robert Thompson. Caught them several times and it always amazing, kicking off with a flamenco style solo from Jimmy Garrison. Unforgettable..

Some nice stuff here.

A recording I could not do without. Disappointingly this cd issue doesn't use the original art work.

Much more enjoyable than I remembered

I've had this since it first came out. If I had to choose just one MIlt Jackson recording for any reason this would be the one. A lot of the tracks are obvious particularly those from the Charliie Parler label. A handful remain a mystery at the moment. But yep,it's all great stuff.

Presently disc 1. Kicks off with the 1947 Carnegie Hall Concert, then two tracks with Machito. I normally give up trying to research this in Lord. It's a bit of a mess but some fine Bird.mostly in good airshot sound.

Didn't work for me. Too long ago to remember why.

I was at the QEH concert. I don't recall the music being that memorable but it was particularly good to see the participants.

Top notch piano jazz.

A couple of Blue notes chosen more or less at random

Agreed, very sad. First saw him with a Mingus Quintet. Then later two or three times with the WSQ. What a sound!

Some Jazz Messengers yesterday - A frequently played favourite. I don't remember when I last played Freedom Rider. Nice Shorter.

Sad news. I'm not a great fan of latin music but from the small number of cds I have by the Fort Apache Band Gonzalez are all terrific..
