Terrific album!!!  

No shame, but not Byard.  Pianist IS ridiculously good, a god to me. That left hand is everything. Can and likely have, sir. Good ear.  Pianist is the leader and the reason for the selection. Not particularly new and there are roots spreading to other tunes in the BFT. Influence may well be there.  This tenor is a name in his own right. That might be the theme for the first part of this bft.   Bud fools no one.  It is Bud, it is one of the Blue Notes. Not in my BFT.     Those who will get this will know it instantly.  Everyone here knows the tenor, the vibes, and many likely know the vocalist. Correct.  This version was introduced to me after gig in which we played arrangement.  I consider the track the class of the album, but the album is definitely worthy. Definite Freddie influence, and that might be an understatement on the sax, albeit an accurate one. Correct.  Those bits are all clues.  It was the tenor that got me on this one. Tenor is the leader.  Not Big George, but fair to say a later contemporary who was likely influence if not by George by the same greater influences. I figure this one to drop pretty quickly as many have this record. No worries, that's the game.  I'm glad you liked it -- maybe my ears haven't betrayed me, yet.    Yeah, you and that bass player were the target for this one.       I'd be surprised if you don't.  This pianist is, for me, on Mt. Rushmore. Jim will, if nobody else.  This one is all that it seems. Again, I'd be shocked if you don't. Nay, sir.  Saxophonist is a name many of us will recognize, but his playing would be a deep cut (like IDing Tate Houston, for example).  I'll be surprised if ANYONE owns this. You may have provided a near perfect Wikipedia description of this player. Mercy!  I believe we have a clue! Pianist correctly ID'd by @Dub Modal Ding!  Ding!  It *is* The Jazz Orchestra. And you're still spot on.  It's worth it.  See my comments above. Fair assessment.  This one sort of snuck up on me.  That sound you're describing is, in itself, a clue. Again, a see of clues here.  It's exactly what it seems to be. Another I'd be shocked if you don't have.  But, now I'm nervous.  I fear Dan will like none of it. 😕   ( )  To be fair, though, pleasing your ears is not a high challenge for me -- I think we have rooms in the same wheel house.  (Tim lives downstairs) DING! DING!  Nailed it.

Should be one to look for. I love all of the Prestige and Argo albums.

Thank goodness it got cool enough to just run a fan to pull air out last night. . . about 60 degrees when I awoke this morning. Ah! Another disc from the Grateful Dead “Enjoying the Ride” box set. . . now Fillmore East, New York, NY (4/25/71) disc 2   320×219 15.5 KB   Some good Pigpen in this set, and Jerry is riding along a carpet of great drumming.
