Side A of this album is superb big band jazz...side B is spottier....
I'd never noticed this before, but as Rick Stepton's trombone solo closes "Lush Life" and the track ends, a voice says, "Beautiful". Sounds like Buddy.
George Coleman, Joe Henderson, Billy Pierce
I hadn't heard this one in a long time and really enjoyed it when I listened to it today. I've always liked Billy Pierce's playing on this CD.
Track 6 "Old Folks"
Just checking out these new reissues, but can't find samples anywhere. Not yet on itunes or spotify. Definitely have my eye on the Cohn/Dex set, but I'm curious about your comments on the Coker session. Why do you say it's not for everyone?
Thanks
