That's a nice one!

Some of my favourites of the decade:

Yes the quartet, the sextet and the CJB.

The Track 1 composition is Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man". (I gave up before reaching the theme!)

Track 2: A Horace Silver composition that I can't put a name to. Track 3: Another Si;ver composition and this time it's "Sister Sadie". Track 4: "Things Ain't What They Used to Be". A medium-sized mainstream group of the sort that Johnny Hodges liked to record with, but that altoist isn't Hodges. Probably recorded 1950s. Track 5: Another mainstream jump band. We used to do that sort of thing very well over here under the leadership of Bruce Turner, but I'm guessing this is the genuine American article. Track 6: That farty tuba is funky in the extreme! Track 8: Neil Hefti composition? Track 9: Familiar tune. Can't name it. Track 10: Early Miles Davis composition: "Sippin' at Bells" Track 11: Gillespie composition, "Tin Tin Deo". Is it one-time Gillespie sideman Leo Wright? Track 12: Monk composition, "Well You Needn't". Track 14: "Easy Living"

Now let's give this a try ...

Nice!

Tell all! Well, a summary at least.
