This CD deserves a thousand s!  A definite desert island disc for me.

WTF is that illustration supposed to be? It looks like Miles perched on the tusks of an enormous elephant.

That's how we lost him.

Elephantiasis aside, that Miles figure was actually a "logo" for a quick minute, like "Directions In Music by Miles Davis" would be a "slogan" few years later.

So we lost him via logo. First a logo, then a brand. then a monster to feed. That makes some sense.

Some. But only some.

Charles Tolliver Big Band Mosaic Select, Disc 1: It is pretty incredible that the only time I've seen Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell perform was together, nearly 46 years after this was recorded.  They were joined by Billy Harper(!!!), Jay Anderson and Carl Allen. Allen's presence surprised me, but he fit in well.  I was incredibly lucky to be there.

I'm seeing Kenny Barron next month.  It's been nearly 2 years since I last saw him, so I am overdue.

Any misgivings I might have had about rehearing over-familiar arrangements from the studio recordings were quickly settled by the sensational 21-minute version of "Piano Blues".
