I was skeptical of this CD even though I liked their Beatles and Dylan tribute CDs and liked most of their Zappa tribute disc.  I was just never that much into U2.  I heard their songs on the radio back in the day, but never cared much about them one way or the other, certainly not enough to delve deeper into their work.  What I discovered on this disc is that U2 has quite a few good songs and they simply needed some one who knew how to sing to properly present them.

This, to me, is a thousand times better than the original:

Steve Lacy - Live at Unity Temple (Wobbly Rail). I've always thought of this as a duet between Lacy and Frank Lloyd Wright. Tonight, with good headphones, I'm hearing it as a trio - Lacy Wright, and the traffic on Lake Street in Oak Park. In any case, Lacy's playing is just beautiful.

I remember when it came out, I think it had been unissued for decades. Anyway, everything that combines Bud with horn players inspires him very much and even that late he could do his best when he had the occasion to record in other units than just "trio".

This is top, much better than the a bit dull "Tribute to Thelonious". Other examples of Bud with Horns might be "Hawk in Germany", "Americans in Europe" (also with Byas and Idrees Sulieman !) , "Hot House"(with Johnny Griffin) ...

Outstanding music ....

Some strange thing about some BN albums of the 60s is the titles, "Smokestack" I thought is a composition by Johnny Griffin on "Blowing Session", "Compulsion" I thought is a Miles composition on "Collector´s Items" , and "Wahoo" (Duke Pearson) I knew as a Dameron line on Perdido.

I haven´t heard that Andrew Hill "Compulsion" but I´m quite sure it is not related to the Miles composition.

Japanese Enja CD I picked up at Disk Union (thank you, kinuta). Outstanding mastering, sonics and mini sleeve repro.

But supposedly the japanese release with a different aka (original) Philips cover .... ?
