I'm a lot cooler on Halsall and collaborators than most on this forum but I do like this record a lot.

A (late) first listen here, but I quite liked it.

I kept going back and forth about posting the studio version of Brad Mehldau's version of Radiohead's "Knives Out" (from the first album Mehldau did after Jeff Ballard joined his trio in 2005)-- and had all but decided against posting it (because, although the drumming is both really busy and fast, it's also somewhat louder than what I'm looking for).

BUT, this *live* version from 2006 definitely gets closer to what I'm talking about -- and Ballard's playing here is just lovely...

I liked that! As Colinmce mentioned, early Bley - especially with Barry Altschul - would echo that vibe:

The opening track of The Individualism of Gil Evans, "Time of the Barracudas", first came to mind (with Elvin on drums).

A fun and a somewhat different Monk tribute (clarinet trio, lesser covered tunes ["Teo", "Shuffle Boil", "Boo Boo's Birthday", etc.)

Revisting Wilbur Harden Savoy run (with Coltrane+Fuller+Flanagan). Very worthy records, all in all. Love Harden's large, soft sound. Flanagan shines as well.

Marvelous tenor playing.  

Yes! And marvelous original compositions as well.

I'd be curious to know some of the other tracks or records that stood out for you, Larry (I kind of did a similar Farmer retrospective recently, but mostly Art as a sideman).
