Coincidentally, earlier today (before seeing either of these posts), I was listening to Ernie Wilkins' Almost Big Band too.

Ah yes, Mel my old friend. If you search you might find a post where I offered to shove a drum up his ass.

One of the later Contemporarys of the 14... series. Excellent!

The # C 14012 with Shorty Rogers is also highly recommended

Re: Ernie Wilkins

This one from  1983 is also here. I am a great Wilkins fan with that "almost big band"

Mel was a piece of work for sure. IIRC I once wrote a review that said that when he sang a love song the effect was like he was holding a mirror in front of his face.

Well yes Sir, I most definitely do. In fact, this was one my first 10 jazz CDs (the others being .. let's see ... Monk's "Straight, No Chaser", John Handy at Monterrey, Roland Kirk at Montreux, Oliver Nelson "More Blues and the Abstract Truth", Miles Davis at Fillmore East, L. Subramaniam "Spanish Wave", Ralph Towner / Gary Burton "Slide Show", Ron Carter / Jim Hall "Live at Village West" and something else - talk about random selection).

This McPhee / Lazro CD was in every CD discount bin in Paris (together with another in situ release - Denis Colin's "Clarinet Bass Seul") when I was living there in 1999-2000. Found it tough going then, but appreciate it much more now. Good stuff (not no mention the customary in situ bold proletarian-red artwork)!
