kenny drew never did much for me until i got recently both tina brooks - the wait game and jackie mclean - jackie's bag. he has grow on me a lot with these two. think i go listen to the 3 you mention again to see if i like him any better now on these. though bluesnik is not one of my favourite mclean albums. one flight up is a fantastic CD. great tunes and gordan and byrd sound a perfect pair. did they record any more stuff together?

i've no pre 50's dizzy. would getting the dizzy proper box set be a good way to start?

i like this one. got it on the same day as jackie's bag and hub cap and i seem to have played this the most. not one of byrds very best but worth a listen or three. gets a B off me

if you have not see it, the art blakey and the jazz messengers video from london 1965 is well worth finding. line up is Lee Morgan(tp)John GIlmore(ts)John Hicks(p)Victor Sproles(b)Art Blakey(d). some nice playing by hicks and everyone else

i think i play "groovin' at smalls' paradise" the most

nice job getting this place up so fast.
