COLD again. Got to sleep late though, nice!

Starting the day off with a new arrival:

Arturo O’Farrill “Legacies” Blue Note cd

 

That's incorrect--he recorded albums for Columbia from '56 to '61.

Alas, oversight, means I have more JJ to listen to!!

Now:

Would like to get into a time machine to be there.

About the record: I didn´t know there was records about the BL All Stars.

But was not Miles and Lester also on that tour ? And BUD ! . I heard some Bud live 1956 from that tour and it sounds fantastic, some of the greatest solo piano (remains an enigma why he didn´t have bass and drummer).

Is this the record with Andrew Hill on piano ? 
I have some of Joe Hendersons old records and dig most of them.

But from the old stuff mostly the Henderson-McCoy Tyner live stuff. 

I saw Henderson live very very often, he was one of my earliest favourites, I mean I heard him after Sanders, Liebman and imediat thought he is of the same categoria
