I’ll ask my friend Jordi Suñol. He took the picture. By the way, you mean Alvin Queen, right? (no Jones in the lineup).

Gosh. You're right. I had misread it as "Elvin" and never checked.

Dave Holland Quintet - Prime Directive (ECM 2000)

[sonnyhill]

David Sanford Big Band featuring Hugh Ragin - A Prayer for Lester Bowie (Greenleaf)

[mikeweil]

Today:

The latter in the CD version which includes more Blackhawk recordings.

Wonderful new CD which has an assortment of tracks recorded between 1968 and 1989.   Most of the selections find Ms. Dearie in a trio setting, but on 5 of the selections she is backed by the Metropole Orchestra.  Love her version of "Both Sides Now".

Not at all "avant-garde", just forward looking inside playing. Tenorist Barrett Friedman (still very active,, btw, I got durious and looked in Google) catches my ear as somebody who appears to have, intentionally or not, found a personal variation on Booker Ervin. I like that, and all in all I like this record

That looks like an interesting project. I don't know Sandford. 

Just found it to stream so listening now. I thought it was collection of Bowie's tunes but I realise it isn't that now, a shame as that would have been a really interesting idea.
