I rarely listened to strictly straight ahead jazz lately, more some more advanced stuff, but this one is a real beauty. 

They all play so great stuff, so exiting. 

Each of them has fantastic solos. 

But if I had to pick out only one, it´s my favourite Jackie McLean. His sound and his phrasing always was the stuff that appealed most to me, almost since I listen to Jazz. 

But it is beautiful to hear Griff and Cecil Payne in such a great playing mood. 

With the exception of Don Sickler, who plays some very fine trumpet, I saw each of those musicians leading their own groups. 

Ron Carter is great on bass, Roy Haynes just wonderful like always, and the surprise is Duke Jordan. His version of Don´t Blame me is just a beauty, and it get´s a rousing round of applause.....

Some of Duke Jordan´s classic intros to some Bird tunes became very popular and it is great to hear it played by the horns for example on "Dewey Square".......

It is! I'm a big fan of the label. Worth checking out the other 31 titles.
(If case you want to know, his name is pronounced "bay-OTT")

I sampled some of the other pieces and then ordered the CD.  It's nice and bouncy, which I like in string quartets!

It comes with liner notes on the individual works, an interview with the performers, and general info on the composer's compositional methods. Some excerpts from the scores too.
