I don't think so. It says "recorded at Victoria Theatre, London" and I saw them at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road, London.

Clearly they were in London for a day or two - enough for Monk to make those Black Lion albums.

OK and thanks for the Info

And just round the corner and up the road at Chappell Music, Bond Street. A wee stroll for Mr Monk..

I didn't have it at all and this sounds great. I really like the session. 

The sleeve notes suggest it was shelved because it didn't fit the more out tone of McLean's other sessions about this time. I love those other sessions and this is a this pin sharp bluesy complement. That McLean tone slices through.  I know Sonny Clark has his many fans but he's the weak link here I think.

Thanks  !

Thinking about it, I think I also have a 1979 King pressing of this one but damned if I can find it !

Now on my 'table:

The Bruce Forman Quartet with Special Guest Bobby Hutcherson - Full Circle (Concord, 1984)
with George Cables, Jeff Carney, and Eddie Marshall

My LP has Forman's, Hutcherson's, and Cables' signatures on the cover.    I wish I could say that I was present when they autographed the LP, but I wasn't.  I bought the used LP online years ago.  A previous owner must have have seen them perform.

My first listen to this. Strikes me as another great job by Mad About Records.  Sounds good, sleeve nicely done too

I hear lots of Gil in this music, explicitly on some tunes
