So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

This has got to be the best $1.99 I ever spent.  A remarkable recording made to celebrate Bill Henderson's 81st birthday and he was in excellent form that night.  I saw him perform about a year later and he was still incredible then.  It's too bad he never got the late career resurgence/attention that say, Shirley Horn or Ernie Andrews enjoyed.

Despite having a fair amount of Harris as a leader, I think that I have only one of his leader dates.  Talk about a hole in my collection!  I'll have to rectify that, maybe with that solo date, which I didn't previously know about.

Now playing:

Ray Drummond - Camera in a Bag: Coincidentally, I think that the last time I saw Drummond was with Harris and Leroy Williams in Detroit.  I wish that I could have seen the whole set because the trio was in fine form. 

Drummond had a string of excellent leader dates.  This one has 'Fathead' Newmam, Steve Nelson, Kenny Barron and Marvin 'Smitty' Smith.

I always liked that album. Too bad she died.
