George Duke and Woody Shaw

[Hardbopjazz]

Does anyone here now about this recording? I went into a local store that sells vinyl records. There was a copy of Jazz live from the Montreux Jazz Festival 1977. Side A was George Duke and Side B Woody Shaw. On the back of the LP it was stamped with, this is not for sale. For promotional purposes only, to promote the Montreux Jazz Festival. The radio station letters were stamped on the LP too. WRVR. I've never seen this before. Do you know about this recording? It wasn't in the best of shape or I would have bought the LP.

I don´t remember in which thread I read it, but thanks to informations I got here, I purchased the two "Wounded Bird" re-issues of Montreux Summit. What a gathering of great musicians from different styles.

Maybe it is not the highest musical standard, but anyway: Imagine.....Woody Shaw, Maynard Ferguson, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Slide Hampton, Hubert Laws, George Duke Bob James, Billy Cobham on the same stage. It´s a mixture of then modern 70´s stuff arranged by Bob James, and some standards like Blue March, Woody Shaw´s Moontrane, and others. Really long tunes, Blues March is over 25 minutes.

It sure costed a fortune to gather all them great stars all together on stage.
