Thanks or the comment Jeff. My memory has failed me completely here. Well worth pulling out. But then this board is great for this sort of thing. I've pulled out dozens of recordings inspired by this topic over the years which would otherwise still be languishing on my shelves unplayed for goodness knows how long.

I was at this February 1958 concert at the Dominion Theatre London. The Couriers were the support band for the Dave Brubeck Quartet. My first jazz concert.

One to dig out. IIRC think I found it a bit intense but I must have found it a keeper as I recall replacing the vinyl with the cd at the first opportunity.

Love this one. One of the first records I bought back in the 50s.

Disc one

Prompted by Paul and Jeff, Some excellent stuff here from the glory days of Silkheart. It would have been breathtaking live.. Though i should say that I'm not so open to this type of music as I was thirty years ago.

Must play more Shorter.

Time to give it a spin then. NP A favourite from the off.

Sorry to hear this.. A fine player.

Rounded off my short Horace Silver kick over the weekend.

Just not enough time to give these (and other classics) their due.
