NP:
The Best of the Big Bands: Claude Thornhill (Columbia/Sony)
and earlier:
Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath (RCA Neon/Fledg'ling)
A bit of a contrast between these two.
Yeah.
This one again:
Scenes [John Stowell, Jeff Johnson, John Bishop] - Along the Way (Origin)
You can tell that these guys have played together for a while. Very tangible feeling of a band, not just three dudes who happen to be making a record.
