What you actually said - "there is not a a better Milt Jackson recording than "Sunflower".
If that does not strongly suggest - "Bags at his best", it sure sounds like it to me.
I do very clearly understand the difference. It is not surprising to me that people hold different opinions. The fact that so many on this Board had such a high opinion of "Sunflower" did surprise me.
I believe everyone has the right to be surprised.
