Within 8 bars of the title/opening track, Sir Charles Thompson's playing had put a smile on my face and that smile reappeared every time he played for the rest of this CD.  No offense to Eric Schneider -- he seems like a perfectly fine reed player and he certainly loves Ben Webster and that is an admirable quality in any individual -- but each track where he is featured just means that much less time for Sir Charles to play.  A delightful recording.

Another delightful recording, for different reasons.  This is a Feb. 22, 1970 concert in Paris.

Yes, definitely on my short list of desert island big band recordings. The mono recording quality is great. 

 

 

 

 

 

Fully agree. I had an early introduction to Blues Express at the age of 19 when I was blown away by "Sweetheart of Sigmund Freud" on a Radio Luxembourg broadcast. (BBC was never too keen on jazz- the devil's music, you know)^_^

I have the Mastertakes from the Savoy Sessions. I thought About Posting it on the "Late 40´s thread" ….

Yes, indeed!

Love the tracks with a boppish young Junior Mance plus Roy Haynes.

So many later-to-be-notable pianists passed through the ranks of Lester's little bands.

Horace Silver in his autobiography recalls his apprenticeship there and how Prez called him        "Horacescope":lol:
