I bought a signed copy of this from the Phil Schaap store.  I was unfamiliar with everyone in the band (other than Charli Persip, of course).

Cannonball's saxophone pairs well with Nelson's swaggering arrangements.  It's great hearing Louis Hayes drive a big band on 4 tracks as well.

Plus there’s the bonus of the Zawinul/Fischer ‘Experience In E’.

Ordered it

The originals are a mixed bag for Perkins', but the standards....I was taken aback simply by the spaces in  'his playing, just nut used to people taking breaths in those places and for those durations.

 

[Larry Kart]

Eager to hear it. Wonderful, isn't it, how caught up we can get in the personhood, so to speak, of those jazz musicians who speak to us. There are a great many players whom I feel I know better than I do my close friends or even myself.

With Bob Berg and Billy Hart

Also interesting is the group sound of this band...very *west coast* in the more etherial way.

It's one of those things that impresses me just for finding the space  they found.

I saw Phil and his European Swinging Machine at Ronnie's. I wasn't particularly impressed. Perhaps it was an off night.

I was, however, impressed to learn that the woman with the kids on the front row was Charlie Parker's widow.

I have since read her autobiography but, as a youngster, I didn't have the facts at my fingertips as I do now.

Perhaps. ... I never had a chance to see the ERM.  I was just a kid when Woods disbanded the group and returned to the U.S. ... But I think they made some impressive recordings -- including the one I posted above.

An excellent record, IMO.

Delightfully uncategorize-able music.

Anyone who enjoys Airto's music should hear Opa. His fingerprints are all over these records.
