Thanks. I listened to 6 again. I think it could be Steve Wilson on alto. But maybe the pianist is the leader, since they solo first and have some freedom on the head. How about Bruce Barth? I think he likes these kinds of arrangements. Maybe I'll take another listen to 16 but I don't have any of Billy Pierce's music.

Happy Birthday! He was in fine form with his big band at Birdland recently.

I meant to type Dorham, Burrell is on this as well. I hadn't had coffee yet.

Okay, thanks; I had not seen anyone complaining about that sound, I use discogs but don't read reviews/comments/forum.

It is a great recording, particularly when Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach go at it together. Historic!

Just searched - you are right! It's on "Dizzy Gillespie Vol. 4 - 1943-44" (Masters of Jazz MJCD 86) - by sheer coincidence and chance one of the very few Masters of Jazzes I own. A live recording from the Onyx Club. Fidelity is ultra-ultra low (audibly an exceedingly worn acetate) but it IS interesting. Pity the beginning is missing. Now if the Gillespie combo already had this tune in their live set lists in Jan. 1944 it is all the more probable that the spring, 1944, dates of the Boyd Raeburn live recordings on the IAJRC and Circle LPs are correct.

There is a small group live recording by Dizzy Gillespie of Night in Tunisia supposedly from January 1944, with Budd Johnson, George Wallington, Oscar Pettiford, and Max Roach.

Sean Mason quintet. A cool Horace Silver-y kind of vibe.

I was referencing earlier to people on Discogs disliking the sound of the Waldron

Sounds like Resonance is moving away from the Seattle tapes as a source. While the opening batch didn't make me open my wallet I do have hopes for future enticement.

Wilson is hard to categorize. For example, I came across some glowing reviews of Roland Kirk albums (Blacknuss, and Rahsaan Rahsaan) or Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus... Still going through the many issues available...

Re-visiting this recent release from Japan. Kenny Burrell “Round About Midnight at the Cafe Bohemia” Blue Note Japan 2 SACD release, disc 1

I thought the Waldron sounded okay, it was the Evans I was referring to as persons not liking the sound. The first set has distortion that is unpleasant to hear. The second set sounds better.
