Thad & Mel: "The Great Concert"?

Recommended Posts

I have this "The Great Concert" CD - I pulled it out and gave it a listen to contribute to this thread.

"The Great Concert" CD is definitely a needle-drop of an LP, sourced from a stereo radio/tv broadcast. The vinyl-based pops and clicks during the quieter portions are very audible. The sound quality is a bit "dull" but the band is having a lot of fun. Lot's of great solos, of course, especially trombonist John Mosca on "Fingers" (the up-tempo "I Got Rhythm"-based tune).

The CD's tracks:

1. "Fingers" (13:28)

2. "Thank You" (6:50)

3. "Take A Ladder" (8:46)

4. "Greetings And Salutations" (13:44)

The CD's tracks and times match up with Poljazz LP ZSX 637, according to the wikipedia page linked by JSangy in post #2. So ZSX 637 would be the source for this CD's needle drop. There is no info on the CD's packaging except for "Recorded Live In Europe" and the personnel. The 15-or-so musicians that Jones verbally introduces between numbers do match up with the personnel in the booklet, so maybe the complete personnel list in the booklet is actually correct.
