Saw Woody a few times. The first was with Dexter's band in '77 at the Keystone Korner. Always INTENSE!

Mine arrived, too 👍

That's why I've never seen it 😎

What's that? Never seen it before

Thanks, David. I saw Cecil come up on stage and talk to McBride, but after a few minutes of discussion he left and never came back. Glad I was there, anyway!

With the wave of interest in Strata-East lately, I'm finally getting around to listening to ALL of this. Quite a wide variety of styles. Nice to have some of the albums now being reissued included here.

The Chinen discussion was interesting today. I was hoping they might discuss the Clifford Jordan Strata-East Mosaic box and how that came to be. It's discussed in the booklet, but would have been nice to hear more about it.

Wow - INTENSE! I only saw them once. I think it might have been the Incident tour. Not my favorite album of theirs.

At first it didn't do anything for me, but I recently checked it out again and changed my mind. One of their best live albums! But 2 1/2 hours? Was their show that long?

Been listening to this singer lately. I really like what she does with her voice and her songs. This is how she describes herself, but I would say she's more like McRae than any of those others. Far too many new singers try to emulate Ella and Sarah, so it's nice to hear one who doesn't.

Arrived today - that was FAST!
