No takers? I was the original poster over at SH. I know that there was alot of discussion of this on the old Blue Note forum. I am truly intriqued.

I was highly disappointed with this album. One of the least played Blue Notes I own. Gave it one listen...it wasn't "spirited" enough for me and the sound was terrible.

Voted for Night Dreamer with Etcetera just a hair behind it.

I voted for Morgan/Earland. Intensity was a fresh departure from Lee's regular output and the album is terrific. I would love to hear more in that vein. Frankly, I like to hear any Lee that's available. Is there much of his work in the vaults that has not been released...if anything?

What a difficult choice! So much great music and all are worthy in one way or another. I have to go with Horace ultimately when it comes to definining the Blue Note sound. Hancock is a great candidate as well but he seemed to come along later in the game and probably defined a new direction for BN. I love them all!
