I agree. Lewis plays very well, and the whole album is very enjoyable.   

 

On the  excellent Sonny Stitt album on MCA, originally on Argo with no title and the same color photo of Stitt on both sides of the album cover and no liner notes,  it has often been speculated  that  the rhythm section is Barry Harris and fellow Detroiters Frank Gant and William Austin,  but it is clearly the Ramsey Lewis Trio (bassist El Dee Young is unmistakeable, as is Lewis), and Ramsey plays very well behind Stitt. Tunes include "This Is Always," "Just You, Just Me," "Dancing on the Ceiling."

The Fresh Sound reissue with bonus tracks. Great sound - at least as good as my Time vinyl.

Not my recollection at all, of Woody and co. at Scott’s. They were fantastic - and I was back the next night for a repeat. Might have been a different tour you witnessed though. On reflection, the group I saw was the later one with Turre and Mulgrew Miller.

Remember chatting to people at those gigs who had flown in from the Continent to see it !

Yes, the later band with Turre, Mulgrew Miller, Stafford James and Tony Reedus was the one I saw. Fantastic ! 
Years later I saw Woody Shaw as a single with some picked up rhythm section and it was a very embarrassing and disappointing performance. All those great originals like "Moon Train" "To kill a brick" etc. had disappeared and he played stuff like "Tea for Two". Now, nothing wrong with "Tea for Two" but I had expected something else....., Woody Shaw was very thin and skinny then.

Joseph Jarman - Inheritance

The first side is perfect. I find the second side with its synth koto a bit of an acquired taste.

I need to get that!  I have most of Davis' 80s releases.  But not that disc.

I'll keep an eye out for that one, Larry.

This afternoon:

The music is fine, Sears plays very tasefully without any cheap R & B effects, his sidemen are in great form. But Van Gelder places the tenor sax at the far left, guitar and piano on the far right, almost nothing in the mioddle, and he shifts the guitarist to the left when he solos. I hate that he treated labels like Prestige and Savoy second rate.
