My copy of that looks a bit different, but what I remember most about that album is
that there's this distinctive "pop" (as in "popping") sound at the very end of the first track.
In '76, as a college student, I would point the speakers out the window and send that loud
popping sound out into the middle of an enclosed quad area and drive other students cRaZy.
Cheap thrill when you're 17 or 18.

I was just listening to this a few nights ago. It used to be a tough CD to find. For Fresu playing ballads, I still prefer his playing on Aldo Romano's "Canzoni"

I think I bought it in 1978 and liked it very much, though sometimes it sounds a bit too "smooth" to me. 
I found the previously album "Musings of Miles" , the one that is the very pre birth of the "First Quintet" with Garland and Philly J.J., but interesting O.Pettiford on bass, much more challenging.

Well nothing against Peterson, since may people liked him and bought his records, but I was carried to one concert in 1978 and the fact, that instead of a drummer there was Joe Pass on guitar, was very "strafverschärfend" for a young drum addict jazzman who I was and still aims to be.....😉

Sam Rivers and Tony Hymas - Eight Day Journal

Steve Beresford & Anne Marie Beretta – Dancing The Line

No idea either. It was mentioned in the recent issue of the Wire, so I'm streaming it on YT.

A sad morning. I’m starting to slowly lose my listening partner, Fiona the miniature dachshund. She’s nearly blind, nearly deaf, and fading. She’s been my good companion for years and I hate seeing her this way. I’m taking good care of her.

Right now we’re listening to

Dave Burrell “High Won – High Two” Freedom/Muzak Japan lp facsimile cd

Fascinating.

“Milt Jackson Meets the Clayton-Hamilton Big Band–Explosive!” Qwest cd

Same here with the older of our two dogs .... burdensome still touching ....

I'd say the same... but by switching albums 😅: "Musings..." is somewhat too "smooth" or subdued for my taste, whereas "Quintet/Sextet" has to me a more interesting/involving tracks selection, all originals (first versions of Jackie McLean's "Dr. Jackle" and "Minor March" [aka "Minor Apprehension" on "New Soil"], Thad Jones "Bitty Ditty", Ray Bryant nice "Changes"). And Milt and Percy Heath...:)
