That takes me back. I loved that band at the time. How's it sounding now?

I haven't listened to them in so long that it is sounding very fresh.

Not all of their albums are equal but this is a good one.

Percy Faith – Percy Faith Plays Latin Themes For Young Lovers

[Peter Friedman]

Lew Woodard is new to me. Hod O'Brien plays well here in a bebop manner.

Marilyn Crispell - Spirit Music 

I hadn't listened to this before. Excellent interplay with Bang. A much more aggressive Crispell than I knew of.

Milt Buckner – Send Me Softly

[Peter Friedman]

Nice album, but I think I have not listened to it for at least 20 years. Somewhere as time went by I found all the BN hard bop albums of the late 50´s sounding very similar and didn´t spin em after my comeback as a musician.....

But I remember there was another, "Back to the Tracks" which had something like "The Streetsinger" which is a nice tune. 
I have read somewhere that Alfred Lion was not too enthusiastic about Brooks, not for his musicianship but for non-musical reasons.

I think I remember Walter Bishop was still alive when I went to all them jazz events here in Europe as a youngster, but I don´t remember I would have ever seen him. I saw other former "Bird-Sidemen" like Art Taylor, Roy Haynes, but never "Bish". 
Is it possible that his career was more than one time interrupted ? 
He is really hot with Bird, only a few grooves beyond Bud, sometimes as a sideman even better, but than it seems he was in obscurity.
He sounds great on a Dizzy Reece album "Soundin´ Off" where he is a highlight and has wonderful chords. 

But on some Bird Memorial Concerts in the Allstar Formations with McGhee, Stitt, Johnson, Tommy Potter, Kenny Clark he is very disappointing, on them he sounds like a nameless straight-ahead pianists...., in general I like him most with Bird and on that one and only occasion with Dizzy Reece....

Heard them live a few months ago. They were excellent.

Liking this one a lot more than some other Herbie Columbias from the late 1970s/early 80s era:

Original LP.  I can't totally get into this album.

This, on the other hand, never disappoints.
