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.

It was always a highlight of gigs by Eastern Rebellion and Cedar’s trio when they played ‘The Maestro’. Bob Berg was pretty adept on the changes to that tune.

The first concert presented here marked Lee Konitz's arrival in the band and Mr. Kenton is effusive in his praise of the saxophonist.  This version of the band also included Maynard Ferguson, Conte Candoli, Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman, Frank Rosolino, Bill Russo and Sal Salvador.  This is the only one of this "Concerts In Miniature" series of CDs I have.  The sound is good, but not terrific.  Nice but brief liner notes by Kenton scholar/biographer Michael Sparke.

Stan Kenton, before giving the band the tempo on "23 Degrees N - 82 Degrees W" here:  "Gentlemen -- take my beat and make it yours"
