Mr. Perchard is an Organissimo poster. He certainly knew what he was talking about! I shall look out for his posts ... but under what name?

I confess I only knew "Sweet and Slow" by the Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band. Checking that sleeve note now, I see it does in fact date from 1935, Fats's era. I've never heard the Mulligan version. Didn't even know he did it. I have it on a Verve LP, reissued by the British HMV label, simply called Gerry Mulligan: the Concert Jazz Band. Sleeve note writer, Alun Morgan, says of this track: '"Sweet and Slow" comes from the 1935-vintage musical Broadway Gondolier (music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Al Dubin), a show which contained also "Lulu's Back in Town". In the hands of the Concert Band this takes on a personality as close to Duke Ellington as the Ducal tributes which used to be presented by Charlie Barnet and his orchestra.'

Nice album! Particularly like the octet sides

Despite my praise for More Blues, I quite agree with you. It doesn't equal the classic album. But we're talking such wonderful music here that even a second best is a five-star jazz disc, particularly from today's standpoint.

More Blues and the Abstract Truth has long been a favorite of mine. Great Nelson arrangements and super solos by Thad Jones, Phil Woods and Pepper Adams, with sprightly rhythm support from Richard Davis and Nelson favorite, Grady Tate. Roger Kellaway on piano is a real original. Ben Webster is guest soloist on a couple of tracks.
