Yes, that is a great idea, and hopefully they would issue the entire concert, and I would appreciates reissues of the entire 1964 Town Hall Concert, the entire 1974 Carnegie Hall concert, the 1972 Ronnie Scott recordings, etc.

I saw him leading a group at the Iridium a couple of years ago and thought that, for the most part, he is a Miles imitator, but that he did at least have a tinge of originality. The best parts of the evening, though, were Geri Allen on piano, and James Spaulding. I probably would go to see him again, with the opportunity.

Did you consider the Hotel Kitano? It's a very intimate club in a nice Japanese owned hotel; very good sound; and they seem to care about music there. I saw Mike Clark there last October, and he had an organist in the band. The fellow who seems to be in charge of the club is there in the evenings when they have music (Wednesday to Saturday) (sorry but I don't know his name).

I haven't been there, but I thought that Smoke was the club that had organ groups on a regular basis.

The new Blue Note release, Without a Song, is to be released June 2, according to amazon.

A dustygroove waffling review fragment for High Energy: "a core quintet that also features excellent reeds from Junior Cook -- possibly one of his strongest (and only) appearances on an electric date like this."
