Disc 2

Absolutely. I like 'em all -- but I think Flute Flight might be the pick of the litter. Lou Levy brought his "A" game.

Now listening to some live Ellington from 1959. Tonight, I got a real charge out of Shorty Baker's loose-as-a-goose solo on "Mood Indigo."

Wayne Shorter - The Odyssey of Iska (Blue Note, 1971) This incredibly creative album is the subject of today's post on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES. I know Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros -- but I'm not familiar with Antonio "Chocolate" Diaz Mena. Regardless, this latter "Chocolate" has one helluva line-up on that record (including the other "Chocolate"!). Good stuff?

Sam Most - Flute Flight (Xanadu, 1977)

Feeling Free is also my favorite Kessel record, by a considerable margin. (And not just because it features Bobby Hutcherson! 😉)

Morton & Cook don't "get" Griff & Lock. They dismiss most of their records out of hand. Everyone has their blind spots. 😉 Earlier:

NP: Grant Green - Alive! (Blue Note) This album is the subject of today's entry on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.

Re-listening to this: Marian McPartland - Ambiance (Halcyon/Jazz Alliance, 1970) It's the subject of yesterday's entry on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES

No way! Never!

Fair enough!
