Now:
I really like this recording. Perhaps slightly more reflective than I was expecting. But excellent. Michael's tune "Un Petit Quelque Chose" (track 1) is worthy of a Dameron composition.
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.
