Superb late-in-the-game Ben Webster, recorded just a few months before he passed.

Two winners back-to-back ....

Indeed! Two recent acquisitions (I have and love Destination...Out!, but strangely never got around to Evolution and One Step Beyond: quite a power trio).
Bley and "Blood" are great (with young Altschul at times approaching self-combustion

Yes, it's a DSD remaster from 2014. Perhaps some day we will see more stuff like 52nd Street Theme saved from oblivion, though not if it's up to Sonny, of course.

Yep, Whitley Bay, Northumberland, right on the NE Coast. The upper photo is of the venue in recent years. The lower photo is of the gig itself. The other musicians were Dave Cliff, Peter Ind and Al Levitt. Extremely good music.

I always associated Whitley Bay with extremely dubious 1970s ‘dance’ venues and not Konitz/Marsh.

The time was 10.35 pm, the date 22 Dec 1975 and hence the balloons on the walls.

I saw the same rhythm section in 1984 at the Exchange Theatre, Manchester with a front line of Jimmy Deuchar, Slide Hampton and Johnny Griffin. Needless to say, it was an excellent session.
