Funny thing is that in the liner notes to the box set, Laurie puts down these Stitt/ Pepper sessions, especially the first one. I think they're both very good and very enjoyable.
👍 As fine as the rest is, I think Disc 1 is my favorite in the set.

Now:
A good one, though I think RVG was better at recording small groups. Something is a bit off with the way the trumpet section is recorded/mixed.
Jack Sheldon
Very good. It's the first session in this box set. The Sheldon I posted is the second session. Art sounds very good on these sessions, very relaxed, perhaps relieved by not having leadership responsibilities
