Absolutely!
I once took "Blues For New Orleans" to a Quartet Out rehearsal for recreational listening, and I tell you - it moved the whole bunch in a way I'd have never suspected. Out of nowhere, Dennis started dancing with his wife , Lyles started screaming encouragement to the bass player , & Pete was babbling shit about how if everybody could play alto like Hodges, it wouldn't be such a loser's horn. :
Myself, I was just taking it all in, and thinking that if there's ever been a better example of the Ellington sax section's mojo on record, I've yet to hear it. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
Very highly recommended.
