I like the idea of opposing sides: Chick, Herbie or ECM.  

I certainly knew ECM only fans as a youth, but that was the 1990s and by then ECM was a different beast altogether.

I did not like Chick or Herbie's fusion things, nor did I like (with just a very few exceptions) the ECM recordings

Gil Evans – Svengali

Bill Harper / David Sanborn right in the front row.

The version of Harper's "Cry of Hunger" on this, with both of them soloing over tight orchestration, may be one of my favourite jazz tunes of the 70s.

👍 - as LP on my shelf, German record prize!

Nice cover design. Bet the music's pretty special too.

I have so many recordings by both of them individually and a couple together that I'm not sure I need another but...

[rostasi]

Yeah, seven tenor and soprano duets with a bit of pocket cornet
thrown in and all recorded at the Chicago Cultural Center in '03.

A very good album, and a must for anybody who wants to hear Eddie Harris without electronics.

Thinking about Robbie Robertson, saw this laying around, and said yeah, why not?

A certainly enjoyable choice!

We Fell In Turn

by Kalia Vandever

contem-blaat-ive trombone

(actually, it has less "blaat" than expected and
more of an alphorn sound that adds smoothness
if you can get over hearing "RICOLA®..." in your head).

Listening to this right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sadao Watanabe – How's Everything

Streaming to this one now. First listen.  Was it a big commercial or critical hit at the time? The YouTube comments are unusually excitable.

It's a really good one. Both have put out some fairly forgettable records, but I liked what they did here a lot.

Duke Ellington Orchestra “Hot Summer Nights” Red Baron cd

Just one night in the life of the Orchestra, and they were unusually (it seems to me) tight that night.
