They're very different, but they're both excellent. Yes! Especially when the package contains music as good as that Hampton Hawes disc! Yes indeed! Just finished listening to the 1975 Eastern Rebellion reissue that was also in the package, and finishing up with what prompted me to start the order in the first place—another purchase brought about by reading this board: Quote

Rabshakeh Posted January 30, 2021 Report Posted January 30, 2021 Now playing: Synovial Joints (Pi, 2015) by Steve Coleman and the Council of Balance Impressive that such a large big band still sounds so open. Now moved on to: Arni Cheatham's Thing (1972) Quote

Gheorghe Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Very fine Woody Herman with some great guest artists: Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Shaw, from 1979. I saw the Herd also in summer 1979, they played also some Chick Corea tunes then. Quote
