I tend to very much agree. Also have to say that I never cared for the V.S.O.P. band.

To my ears, Frank Foster sounds better on this 1950 recording than he does decades later. Barry Harris was an outstanding jazz piano player from the beginning until now. I recall hearing bass player Ray McKinney back when I lived in Detroit. Thought he was quite good. As I recall, he was on a couple of recordings, but soon seemed to disappear from view.

Disc 3 - Trio recorded in 1960

String Quartets - Op.74. & Op.95

Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.5

That last sentence is sad news in my opinion.

Don't like Prince or Miles after the late 1960's.

Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.5

Looking forward to this new 1980's review.

Recorded 1966

Disc 7

This is a production of the Count Basie Society. Recorded at the Olympia theatre Paris on November 9 and 12 on the Magic label.

As I indicated in my original post, it is on the A & M label. Recorded in March and September 1989. Released in 1990.
