Sometimes you just want to swing...

Image result for world's greatest jazz band live at roosevelt grill

I'm still recovering from Ed's passing, but with material like this he'll always be with us.  It's nearly 44 years ago this was taped (and I remember being there one of the nights), yet it's still fresh and squeezeably soft and tasty.  It has a delightful version of one of my favourite songs, "It Might As Well Be Spring", which it might actually be in Toronto today...

Overall, I like this a lot better than the Jewel/Atlantic stuff put out by Savoy.

And this is so much better than the studio records, the band is kicking some serious ass here.. Jackie Mills!!!!! + Dizzy sitting in with the band on two cuts.
