Finished re-listening to this box set earlier this afternoon. The development of the quintet over the years covered by this set is remarkable. On the last session (July 1963) Shearing as modern a pianist as anybody else that year.

Disc IV. Enjoying me some Dizzy Reece

Disc 1.  I won an incomplete set on eBay (no box, minus Disc 3) for less than $17 after shipping.  This has been a set that I have been curious about and it was a price that I couldn't pass up.

Discovered this on Spotify and am in a big band mood these days so gave it a listen.  Surprised how solid the whole set is start to finish.  Superb musicians and a massive ensemble sound.

And this is pure coincidence. But today I grabbed this out and am now terribly impressed with Us Three, the track. This is the first Parlan trio properly. I feel I like Parlan more now than when I got it. I should be listening to this more than I do.

Or Headin South, for that matter. The Parlan trio backed by Ray Barretto:
