..but it delivers what?  Long career, lots of options...  Big band, sideman, small groups?  Always interested in Big T, but don't know this one.

I love it personally, there's really nothing else quite like it. I think Doyle & Glover acquit themselves well, but Graves is, unsurprisingly, the key to what holds the whole thing together; if you listen for what he's doing polyrhythmically and how he's driving the momentum of the playing and shifting the textures & topography of the music with both his instrument and his body, it begins to make perfect sense, at least to me. I find it incredibly exciting. 

I think there may have been footage of this,or similar, in the recent Graves documentary. Certainly looked very exciting. I do like 'Meditation Among us' which is of a similar vintage

The Five Spot material from Disc 1.  Despite having been fortunate enough to see Weston 4 times (solo, duo, working group and big band), I barely had any of his music.  I finally grabbed this in April and am working my way through it.

Haven't played this for ages.

Sounds great, positively popping out of the speakers.

Thanks!  That was a good band, especially the under-recognized Don Ewell.

Same here, haven´t played ot for many many years if not decades. Nice idea for listening to it again, especially as now there´s so much discussion about the Miles-Hank Mobley relations. I think I remember I paid very much attention to what Mobley played.

Good album. I’ve got the second cover on my copy.

In fact this is just yet another of my unsuccessful periodic attempts to understand and enjoy this type of music... It bores me to death!

Jeanne Lee/ Ran Blake—————-The newest sound - you never heard———-(A side records)

absolutely as good as expected. Excellent release 

[HutchFan]

Wofford has such a lovely touch, and the music is like German chocolate cake, rich and delicious. 

... Hybrid-SACD recorded sound is sumptuous too.
