That would be my choice. Some of the Cootie & Rex stuff from the '50s is very nice. One of the most recognizable sounds in jazz trumpet.

He's no J.D., but I really love what I've heard from the Fall 1971 European tour (Ndugu-Mtume-Alias are a great percussion section), and hope that's the basis of a box in the bootleg series to come.

As an arranger, Paul Jeffrey used very idiosyncratic voicings, but I don't know how best to describe what he was doing. Can anybody explain? The easiest examples to find are his work for Mingus--the last Atlantic albums as well as the session for Lionel Hampton's Who's Who series (and this one most has the sound I remember from seeing Jeffrey's Octet live).

I love the Cellar Door recordings, but McLaughlin's night was definitely the best, and they made a wise choice choosing from that material for the original album.

I just discovered that the CD, which I don't have, has 2 additional tracks, Pullen's Big Alice, and a tune called The Call, both of which feature trumpet solos. I wonder if trumpet solos were edited out of other tunes. Big Alice was performed in the first set at Carnegie Hall in 1974, but only the jam session was released by Atlantic.

From Wikipedia: Fred Lipsius left and was replaced by jazz legend Joe Henderson (who did not stay long enough to record), before Lou Marini settled into the new lineup

Weren't there some studio recordings of the orchestra on Savoy, albeit without the biggest "superstars"?. There's also the soundtrack for the film Rhythm in a Riff. You can find clips on YouTube. Here's a very thorough description of the film and its production: http://www.jazz-on-film.com/eckstine.htm

The highlight of the Dizzy at Wolf Trap show was the quintet with Dizzy, Sonny Rollins & Hank Jones. I think Mickey Roker was on drums. Can't remember the bass. Actually, the announcement came courtesy of one of our friends on these boards, Ghost of... http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/sam-rivers-mosaic-set-november/ and at the time there was a thread here: It's possible that it was all due to a misapprehension, and it was the Rivbea Orchestra all along.

Does she dance like Monk?
