Agreed. Although the inclusion of Stevie Wonder's I Just Called To Say I Love You was a bit of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one. I never realized Bix did a trumpet solo on that one.
The only stereo track in the set.
Nomatter how fine McGhee was and nomatter when he appeared on the scene, Fats "showed the way" for following players. After Fats KD was the influence.
No dis to McGhee intended.
Don produced both dates. Not sure of the engineer since I haven't listened for years but I'd guess Rudy did the first session. Listening will disclose the truth.

I gave up on "serious" music stores a few years ago. I regret it but won't spend a lot of time mourning. A few valiant anachronisms survive and I praise them.
