    This one !

    This album has a special meaning to me.
    It was around 1977 and I was a new born jazz fan. Until then I only had two LP´s (Miles Davis "Steamin´" and Charles Mingus "Mingus Ah Um")

    A good source of information during that days was a radio programm on Saturday Night called "Jazz Shop". The DC Herwig Wurzer spinned and commented records that were new ore newly reissued on the jazz market and he was a voice in the night like Symphony Sid would have been for those a generation before me.

    He played the first 2 tunes "Winterset" and the fantastic slow blues "Gotcha Goin and Comin".

    I think I haven´t spinned that for 4 decades. Almost have forgotten how good it is, everybody, Byrd´s trumpet is fantastic, Frank Foster, Hank Jones, Paul Chambers (my "hero" from the classic Miles Davis quinted, see..... those men Miles Trane, Red, Paul, Philly J.J. was heroes to me like let´s say for the teenie girls would be John Travolta then...).

    Highly recommended if you find it or have it. Play it !

    I have an early vinyl of this.  US jacket, French lp - remember those.  Just got the cd in the five cd set.  I like it as it reminds me of those terrific nights at Ronnie's where the Shepp band's first set was A Portrait of Robert Thompson.   Caught them several times and it always amazing, kicking off with a flamenco style solo from Jimmy Garrison.  Unforgettable..

    I've had this since it first came out.  If I had to choose just one MIlt Jackson recording for any reason this would be the one.

    It can be confusing and sometimes frustrating trying to keep tabs on all the the live Bird that's out there, but it's worth it. And if you get tired of trying to figure out what's what, just listening always works. In fact, that probably works best.

    A lot of the tracks are obvious particularly those from the Charliie Parler label. A handful remain a mystery at the moment.  But yep,it's all great stuff.

    for which I have my ticket. I saw her with  Equal Interest [Leroy Jenkins and Joseph Jarman] at QEH years ago and have very hazy memories of a gig maybe at the old Vortex but it's too hazy

    I was at the QEH concert.  I don't recall the music being that memorable but it was particularly good to see the participants.
