Album of the Week Oct 3 - 10

[BillF]

[John Tapscott]

Great choice. No one should let that oxygen tube in Phil's nose put you off. He plays very well here. And Greg sounds inspired, too, matching Phil solo for solo.  The Tim Ray trio does a great job backing these guys and has a couple of nice trio features.   Phil's playing never declined; in fact, I would say he even turned it up a notch or two on his last few dates, knowing perhaps the end was near.  Perhaps the oxygen helped, too.  Very good recording quality.
