Recurringly .... simply believe my senior moment are increasing .... btw bought/own "The Door" only as CD (sold in "Long Box" packaging - those were the days) ....

The Long Box. Those really were the days. Well, they were days.

This CD has, perhaps, the best playing I have ever heard from Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Though I  much enjoy the Johnny Griffin-Lockjaw Davis albums, the context on this Basie small group recording strikes me as right in Jaws wheelhouse. He is not really a bebop oriented player, and thrives in a mainstream swing context.

No Jaws fan should be without this CD.

Ah, yes! A trip down memory lane! Saw them at Leeds Town Hall on that tour. I was aged 17! :unsure:

On listening to this album for the first time I was struck by how sensationally good on alto the 22-year-old Tony Coe was! For a long time I thought I was listening to Bruce Turner!

Coe was a great discovery by Lyttelton. I think I remember reading that Humph rescued the youthful Coe from some sort of trouble with the authorities.

Borrowed from the library a week or so before the big closure. 3CDs are very varied (geographically and in time) with often interesting selections, as could be expected from Tercinet.

I'm going to absorb this set slowly. I'm only on the first show, second disc. 

Kudos to the Plangent Process and mastering.
