Thanks (or maybe no thanks ) for mentioning this. I'm close to ordering, but still on the fence. Have listened on bandcamp.

It’s worth ordering the CD set, the large format book and essay (with lots of pictures taken at the gigs) which holds the CDs is very well done.

Simon Spillett’s very good essay covers the circumstances of the time with rampant inflation, power rationing and Cold War tensions. Hmmm - at least we ditched the brown carpets, flock wallpaper and Watney’s Red Barrel.

NP: The Individualism Of Gil Evans including  Previously Unreleased Recordings (UK twofer)

[jazzbo]

i forgot how good the two volumes of this live date are.

Carmen McRae "At the Great American Music Hall Volume 1" Blue Note Japan TOCJ cd.

Bass – Ed Bennett
Keyboards – Marshall Otwell
Percussion – Joey Baron
Trumpet – Dizzy Gillespie

[John Tapscott]

[jazzbo]

David Sanchez "Travesia" Columbia cd

with Edsel Gomez-piano- Hans Glaschwignig-bass - Antonio Sanchez- drums, and Miguel Zenon alto sax.

A great fusion of jazz and latin elements by a tight group. 

[Peter Friedman]

[jazzbo]

Santana "Abraxas" Mobile Fidelity Lab gold cd

I have the Mobile Fidelity SACD as well but this one is still a good sounding mastering and disc.

The music takes me back a bit to college days.

I concur. She is, without a doubt, my favorite pianist on the scene today.
