Dave James Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Manne's 5 CD set from The Blackhawk has always been, at least for me, the very essence of live, small group jazz. If the story is to be believed, it was Manne himself who recognized that something special was afoot and arranged for a mobile recording unit to capture the band's live performances over several consecutive nights. The results speak for themselves. Edited June 15, 2020 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about trying to make room for a Lighthouse recording--not to mention tearing my hair out over what to include from the Black Hawk. Quite a wealth of music to choose from, that's for sure.

That Shelly Manne Peter Gunn album was one of my introductions to West Coast Jazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
