Maybe this might be quite interesting, the bassist and the alto saxophonist says something to me. I didn´t know Dollar Brand also played soprano sax. 
My only encounter with him was at some festival, where he led a kind of big band. But as you know, those festivals can get somehow tedious and after hearing the guys I was looking for most (Elvin Jones, Joe Henderson, Ron Carter the only thing I remember is that he had some strange robe, stood with the back to the audience and somehow "conducted" that orchestra, which played a quite repetive thing, maybe later something would have happened, but.....I had fallen asleep......

Originally released (with fewer cuts) as Live at Rick's on the Aviva label.

Shirley Scott plays piano on this one.  She sounds just as good on that instrument as she does on organ.  ;) 

 

I did not know (I don't think so) that Live at Rick's came out on CD and it looks like more music, too. Guess I have to go on the hunt.

Edit to add: Actually significant differences in track list, and per Discogs, the LP has her on organ? Anyway for additional tracks I need to figure out this CD issue for sure.

 

Editing again to add: They must have really recorded all of these three days of gigs ... I discovered or was reminded of Truly Wonderful, also recorded at Rick's.  And I am disturbed to say that my transfer of the original LP isn't leaping out of the shelves.

Would be nice to put together a single MP3 disc of all the tracks by this group at Rick's that have been released.

I have the LP and the CD.  You're right: There are two cuts on the LP -- "In a Mellotone" and "Summertime" -- that don't appear on the CD.  Likewise, there are five cuts on the CD that aren't on the LP.  Also, each format features different track sequencing.  It's a jumble!

That said, I think both the AQ and sequencing are preferable on the CD.  As an album, the CD just works better.

As for Shirley Scott organ playing on the Live at Rick's LP:  I think that's mistake in Discogs.  OTOH, I haven't heard the LP in a while, and my memory isn't what it used to be.  ;)

Hmm.  I'm not familiar with Truly Wonderful.  . . . Might need to look into that.
