Miles Davis Modern Jazz Giants...... so important for me when I was in my first year of listening to jazz, I mean Miles, Bags and Monk, I think I liked most "The Man I Love" and "Bemsha Swing".

It seems there are treasures I have never heard about. 

Oh Boy: MY favourites ! Each of them a special favourite of mine and extremly important for my making of a jazz musician. I saw Joe Henderson the first time on TV 1977 in a group that had Ratzo Harris on bass, that´s what I remember, Chick Corea was for some of my school buddies the universum of it all, they were "Return to Forever Freaks", it was more the peaceful guys of them, I mean I was longhaired too but more one of the bad guys, while the other category of long hairs was the more peaceful ones....

Ron Carter was also a reason for me to learn bass, and Billy Higgins was my favourite drummer for Bop and Free during that time....

Well I bought these Dick Meldonian Lps in the middle of the 1980swhen strongly collecting big bands only. Its plain swing oriented big band sound.

The sound is a bit flat due to the life recording and could use some more volume.

Can't say what the speciality of  Marion Evans is compared to othe  big band arrangers.  The charts seem to be normal mainstream swing. The other one I have  with that band plays Gene Roland music and these sound very modern.
