Incredible classic from the 60's

Indeed, it is an incredible classic. I was hoping to see Mike’s current and excellent big band next month down in Torquay, sadly now overtaken by events. :(

I recommend ‘Last Night at the Old Place’ as a supplement to this one. Fidelity not the greatest but covers much of the material from this period, inc. ‘Release’.

Likely Joel Dorn was not so "faint-hearted" :( ....

Probably put it down to the ‘norms’ of the time, I guess.

I think there are not so many combo recordings of Woody, but when he did, it was very nice. Sure I saw him with the Herd, but the last time I saw him in 1985 it was an allstar combo I think with Varren Vaché, Scott Hamilton, Buddy Tate, Joe Bunch on piano, Jake Hanna on drums and a young bass player as a replacement for the scheduled George Duvivier (who died just a few days after this in July 1985).

Very exiting all three volumes "On Stage" at the BIM house in Amsterdam from 1975. 

This here has a quite exiting version of "Old Devil Moon" though on the start it sounds like if Cliff just had to "learn" the tune, but he really stretches out on solo. 

Cedar Waltons trio feature "The Maestro" is a beauty. Very fine descending chords on the theme, not unlikely those on Dizzy´s "Con Alma" though it´s completly different. 

"The Highest Mountain" also very strong.
