I concur completely with Peter has written. This box set consists of 4 CD's which I have separately. But these CD's (recorded in 1990) are on my short list of favorite OP recordings (and very close to the top). The cover is actually a bit misleading since it's a quartet throughout with Bobby Durham on drums.

A terrific arrangement of Tyner's "Search for Peace" with a great Pete Christlieb solo from this very fine CD by this very fine K.C. band. Some great playing here (and of course, K.C. has a great big band tradition). Also a very swinging arrangement here of Shorter's "Black Nile" by former org participant Free for All (Paul McKee) who has a fine solo on the track along with Christlieb.

Listened through the Bill Evans 9 CD Fantasy set this week: 2 tracks really stood out for me (out of so many great tracks) "Bass Face" from and "Eiderdown" from I'd forgotten how good both these albums are; especially the latter which has outstanding playing from both Warne and Lee.
