ghost of miles Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 It lives up to its title (a Jimmy Forrest composition)--a smokin' live date recorded at Rick's in Chicago in 1978. Highlights for me are "Misty," "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" (with a timely quote from "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), and "Blues Everywhere." The rhythm section is Shirley Scott on piano, John Duke on bass, and Bobby Durham on drums. The Old Guard sure was recording some great jazz in the 1970s. Wish I'd been around then--at least of a legal, jazz-loving age--to catch some of these shows. (Listening to the Dexter Mosaic Select has put me in this frame of mind as well.) Quote
