Thanks Guy! Much appreciated! I saw the Lost Quintet in very early 1970 at the Cellar Door. It's my recollection (Here we go!) that Keith Jarrett sat in with a second electric keyboard, making it a sextet.

Great! I will need an address to mail a check.

Thanks HFan! I had forgotten about both of them!

OK, let me rephrase the question. Are there CDs of the Miles quintet between Shorter's leaving and his septet of the autumn of '71?

When Shorter left the Lost Quintet, wasn't he replaced by Liebman? If so, how long did the other three remain with Miles? Did that quintet have any CDs issued?

Robert Glasper In December The 5-time GRAMMY winner and current GRAMMY nominee's "December" feat. Andra Day music video made its broadcast debut across BET Soul, BET.com, and Paramount's Times Square billboard https://www.instagram.com/p/DDQjxnCOiaV/ Featuring an esteemed roster of frequent collaborators—Cynthia Erivo, PJ Morton, Sevyn Streeter, Tarriona “Tank” Ball, Alex Isley, Andra Day, Doobie Powell, and The Baylor Project—In December initially released as an Apple Music exclusive and is now available on all platforms and on festive gold and red vinyl and CD via Loma Vista Recordings / Concord, an evocative and moving addition to Glasper’s critically lauded catalog. The eight-track project finds Glasper’s unique approach to contemporary R&B and jazz, encapsulated in his famed Black Radio series, applied to what is a sonically unique take on holiday music. This non-traditional holiday release brings a weight and musical funkiness to a genre and time of year that is often seeped in campy or classic holiday motifs. Speaking on In December, Robert Glasper says, “I’m excited to drop my first holiday record. I hope it brings as much joy as I had making it. Sip some eggnog and enjoy.” Arriving as a bookend to another monumental year for Glasper, In December preceded the closing of the 6th year of the exceptional artist’s world renowned ROBTOBER residency at Blue Note in NYC, featuring special guest performances by Common, Andra Day, Questlove, RAYE, Stokley, Doobie Powell, Marsha Ambrosius, Little Brother, Chris Dave, Derrick Hodge, DJ Jahi Sundance, and more. Glasper has currently earned his 14th GRAMMY nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album for Code Derivation released earlier this year. # Artist and Track Title Time 1.

Vosk had an unconventional journey to Broadway, beginning her career on Wall Street, a successful career before having a severe panic attack and taking a leap of faith to quit her high-paying job and pursue her dreams on stage--a one-of-a-kind story covered by ABC's 20/20 and NBC's Nightly News. Powerhouse vocalist Vosk has a busy Holiday schedule coming up. Her single is a cover of her friend Ariana Grande’s "Santa Tell Me" from her full length Christmas album SLEIGH. Vosk, a friend of Grande’s, put new arrangements and orchestration on the song. This is the 10-year anniversary of the song and Ariana has some words of encouragement for Vosk: “I’m so thrilled and excited for my dear friend and sister witch, Jessica Vosk, to be releasing her first Christmas album! After being a fan of hers for so long, I am so humbled and honored that she happens to be covering my song "Santa Tell Me" on its 10-year anniversary (I’m actually screaming).” Vosk responds, “Ariana Grande and I met while I was playing Elphaba on Broadway, during Wicked’s massive 15th anniversary year. We became soul sister friends, as we both filmed an NBC special to celebrate the anniversary. We've kept in touch ever since. I’ll never forget getting a FaceTime from her, just before the news broke that she would be playing Glinda in the Wicked film. I remember we’d talk about it as I was getting green for a show, and she was manifesting the amazing chance to play Glinda. There is no one more deserving, who works harder. Her song "Santa Tell Me" has always been a BOP for me, and I wanted to put a Bridgerton spin on it. New arrangement, orchestration, etc. So, I called her to tell her about it and she just loved the idea. Fun fact, you’ll never find a more supportive friend. I sent it to Ari for her blessing, and she wrote a few gorgeous words to go alongside it.” Several of Jessica’s bold-faced friends join her on this album: Neil Patrick Harris, David Foster, Ariana DeBose, and Scott Hoying (Pentatonix). Fans will also find testimonials from Ariana Grande and Alison Krauss in the liner notes of the CD and vinyl (out this Friday, Dec. 6th). SLEIGH is dedicated to her late father who taught Jessica to sing. On December 12th, she will portray Jersey in Alicia Keys' production Hell's Kitchen, taking over the role from Shoshana Bean. Vosk will then play a series of Christmas concerts at The Kennedy Center with The National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, DC (Dec. 5, 6, 7) and NYC's Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops (Dec. 20, 21). Says Jessica on the creation of the album, “It’s always been a life-dream of mine to make a Holiday album. As my good friend Kristin Chenoweth told me, “It’s a rite of passage, girl!” So, when I had the idea to bring this to life very early this year, I put together a wish list of guests I could have on this album with me. All of my wishes came true when Neil Patrick Harris, David Foster, Ariana DeBose, and Scott Hoying all said YES. My respect for these artists is so large—they’ve all been a part of my life, all in different chapters. The songs on this album are all my versions of both pop and traditional songs, listeners should know very well. My ride-or-die fans are so important to me, as is the LGBTQIA+ community, so you’ll find some special tracks just for them. I know how lucky I’ve been to make a life out of this career I had aspired to, while I was sitting in a cubicle at a finance job years ago. The gratitude I have for my super fancy friends for coming on this album journey with me is really hard to put into complete sentences; so, I’ll just say: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS DREAM TO LIFE WITH ME” SLEIGH is produced by Scott M. Riesett, Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Jessica Vosk, and Terrence Meck in conjunction with producing partners Next Table Entertainment & Media, Liz Armstrong, Mike Isaacson, and Michelle & Joey Jacobs.

Well, one benefit for me is that it has clarified the timeline of his recordings. It explains what was going on in his life at the time of each recording, and how the sidemen became involved.
