Re Musique du Bois. Phil plays well on the session, not so much because of the rhythm section, but almost in spite of it, esp. Richard Davis, who never seems quite in sync with the others, and plays as if he wants to be recognized as co-leader on the date.  

To me the Byard + Davis + Dawson combo enhanced each recording session  - and this one is no exception ...

I dunno. Isn't that just the way Richard Davis plays?!?! Me personally, I like the way Davis -- and the entire rhythm section -- sounds. And I like the way Phil plays too!

I know I should go and sit in the dunces corner but I'd not heard of this guy. I streamed his music for an hour last night and was well impressed by Linton Kwesi Johnson, so thanks !

He's still about and performing but not recording, sadly. Soundtrack to my university years, too long ago to mention now

Interesting ....

He said that was the album that made him form his working quartet/quintet featuring Steve Gilmore and Bill Goodwin, which stayed together over 35 years, up to Phil's death.

Fair enough .... still hard to believe Byard + Davis + Dawson didn`t make him feel comfortable (or at least didn`t challenge him in a positive way ....) as he was used to co-operate with strong individualists like Daniel Humair, George Gruntz, Gordon Beck, Henri Texier, and Ron Mathewson for years ....

I've loved this album ever since it first came out.  Given his large discography, this album may often get overlooked, but it has some really strong material and performances on it.
