When was this recorded? Mickey Roker left us two or so years ago, IIRC.

Roker is still with us....

Duh! Glad to hear this, but wasn't it due to health problems he left the MJQ after Connie Kay's death? I'm afraid I mix up something here. Would be grateful for any info.

Now I know: It the passing of Mrs. Roker I recalled. Some nice writeup on Roker on this webpage.

Still: when was this recorded?

Hey I didn't know about this one, thanks for the tip Jim!

A while back I posted my raves about another excellent project on the IPO label with many of the same players:

With Malice Toward None: The Music of Tom McIntosh

That was one of my favorite "new music" purchases of the past year. Great music, excellent "natural" sound quality (not overly glossed).

Sounds like this one's in the same class. And Thad Jones tunes! Yessss!
