Haven't listened to this one in a long time. Dizzy and Stitt are both outstanding. I like the way the piano solos of John Lewis exhibit a somewhat calm reserved sensibility but with true jazz depth after the multi-noted exciting solos from Diz & Stitt.

I've had it since it was first released. Timeless, incredible music. Great sound. Recommended!

This lovely lady is a great singer. Sabrina Malheiros “New Morning” cd Followed by From the “Enjoying the Ride” box set Grateful Dead Capital Centre, Landover MD (9/15/82)

Ditto.

His website says that he played on the Botti At Sea Jazz cruise in February of this year, so it looks like he is still playing. His label, Blues Back Records, went belly up in 2011 but he seems to have a few more recordings on his website and bandcamp pages. Two of the CDs in the Signature Series box on his website don't seem to appear anywhere else, so you might want to check that out. I have no idea if any of these recordings are recent as they don't list recording dates for a any of them that I can find.

I have seen Wycliffe numerous times. He is a marvelous musician. He plays trombone, and a number of other brass horns. Wycliffe also sings. Wycliffe loves New Orleans style jazz as well as Swing style, Funk style and Bebop. His enthusiasm on the band stand makes his performance great fun.

Good one.

And here!

Yes, saw him often in Göttingen ... https://peeteruuskyla.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-g-ttinger-jazzfest-1999 Here in a duo with Dr.phil. Ove Volquartz, longtime chairman of the Göttingen Jazz Festival. Both contributed to the recording with Cecil Taylor – see Uuskyla's recommendation below!

I would say he is THE BEST musician to come from Wynton's orbit.

And here.

Uuskyla is great!

Definitely a fan, and one of the better talents to come out of the Wynton orbit. I have several of his Negel Heyer releases and definitely second The Search.

Vernel Fournier (1928-2000)

Well, he's one of those four.

Any fans of Wycliffe Gordon? He is one of the few standout trombonists out there. I saw him live once and he put on a great show. I have several of his records, and there are some really good ones: DIg This!, The Search. You can hear outstanding work by Gordon (usually in his very vocalized style) and his sidemen. You can hear him in other projects too, such as Ted Nash's Sidewalk Meeting and The Herbie Nichols project. Yet it seems that he has not recorded in about a decade. How can this be? It really seems that trombonists don't receive enough respect.
