Both Nabors sets are among my all-time favorite Mosaics, along with the Lawrence Welk

Nabors is a fantastic musician who's severely underrated. I wish I could spread the gospel of him to jazz lovers everywhere. :wub:

One of my favorite periods was in the early seventies when he replaced Joe Zawinul in the Cannonball/Nat Adderley group. I hear he was playing stuff so BAD that Miles made an offer for him to join his group. To Nabor's credit, he stayed loyal and kept burning up the keys with Cannonball.

I was lucky enough to find a photo from this period:

It's too bad nobody's yet found the long-lost Adderley session tapes featuring Jim's 2 orginal compositions "SHAZAAAAM!" and "GOLLLLLLLY!" I've heard they were smokin'!
