Thanks John, succinct and to the point  I will continue with my ignorance of it in that case

Reperatory Company fare like so many of those projects from the 80s. and 90s.  Plenty of craft but no fire.  Nothing wrong with it but you want to hear those horn players on more challenging settings.  All did better sessions in that Era as sole leaders and of course did classics in the 60s and 70s.   Kudos to David Weiss, the rare organizer who can make that sort of group meaningful.

This record fascinates me, especially the ballads (and "Cousins", which is really "How Long Has This Been Going On"). And Pete LaRoca!!!!!!!!!

Btw for me his real forte on Blue Note were Sideman appearances .... "Basra" .... "Black Fire" .... "Song For My Father" .... "Trompeta Toccata" .... "Stick-Up" .... to name a few ....

Those are all good, no question. I do love those two leaders dates though. . . perhaps a bit more.
