Wow. Then there's at least a decent chance this series has it as well. I must not have listened close enough. I don't have the software to measure it either, so that's why I don't want my answer to be definitive. 

He's great on the two Ed Blackwell albums on Enja as well ... I fell in love with his playing as a kid, hearing his solos on "African Marketplace" again and again - one of my mom's favourite records, and now one of my own favourites.

His performance with Miles at the 1975 Newport Jazz Festival, at Avery Fisher Hall, was very favorably reviewed in the NY Times and the concert recording was released on the Jazz Masters CD label.
