I'm listening to the Pacific Jazz CD Trio, which combines a Russ Freeman 1953 date and a Richard Twardzik 1954 date.

I believe that the Freeman date was recorded the same day as (and following) the trio's backing Chet Baker.

In college I had the Twardzik date on an LP entitled The Last Set. I found it in a trash can! I had never heard of him before, but I retrieved it to give it a listen, and never threw it away.

Anyway, I believe that both of these are included in the Pacific Jazz Trios Mosaic Select.

(edit for typo)

and judging by those 1961 dates quite astonishing that Byrd (still/always?) had such a relatively bad reputation.

I can never work that one out either ! Just the other day lstening to 'Fuego' vinyl I was pondering this very issue. Maybe future generations will be more sympathetic.

That 'Byrd/Adams' set is a beauty.

Well, you may remember that I consider "Fuego" ok, but not great... I don't find it nearly as compelling as the 1961 dates, to be honest (same for "Byrd in Flight"). Then "Free Form" for me again has a very special vibe. And even though them Penguin moldy figs (haha!) don't like the with Voices albums, that one is a great album to my ears, too!
