I recall Alan Barnes saying that as a student at Leeds College of Music he made the trip to Scott's to hear the master.

Perhaps that's why many years later he named an album The Art Trip.

Interesting !

I only got to hear his solo rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’ at that George Wein ‘Year of the Bird’ concert but it was memorable. The rest of the lineup - Gillespie, John Lewis, Freddie Hubbard, John Lewis, Lee Konitz, Slam Stewart, Roy Haynes, Curtis Fuller - and those are just the ones I remember !

Herbie Hancock "Speak Like a Child" 24 bit by RVG Japan Blue Note cd (sort of gatefold cover!)

Just arrived in the mail within a lot of 12 24 bit by RVG cds I won via auction. More duplicates than I would like, but I did get titles I really wanted, this one included, at a good price. And will have four to add to the sell pile.

Forgot to mention the Brecker Brothers as well. Playing bebop !

I think James Moody was also on the bill. Possibly also Milt Jackson but not sure. There was also a UK rhythm section.

Updated - Just found the JJI review. No Milt and Moody but Clark Terry and Kai Winding were included (Kai duetting with Curtis). The UK rhythm section was John Critchinson, Ron Mathewson and Martin Drew i.e. the Ronnie’s house team of that time. 

The RFH venue was last minute. It was originally scheduled for Ally Pally, which burnt down a few days before !

Now that's one I missed - the Miles quintet with Stitt at the FreeTrade Hall, Manchester in 1960. I think it was during the university vacation and I was at home in Leeds. Fellow student (later jazz critic of the London Evening Standard) the late Jack Massarik told me he was there.

Lou Donaldson "Alligator Boogaloo" 24 bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd

What a band! The leader is so soulful but never far from bebop, that adds a special layer to his work with organ trios in my book. 

Lou Donaldson - alto saxophone
Melvin Lastie - cornet
Lonnie Smith - organ
George Benson - guitar
Leo Morris (Idris Muhammad) - drums

Sweets and Lockjaw.

'Forgive Me' is one of the great ballad performances of the new millennium.

[HutchFan]

Prompted by Tolliver talk elsewhere on the board:

Just now seeing that Pure Pleasure has reissued this -- as it was originally titled on Strata-East, Live at the Loosdrecht Jazz Festival.  It's a two-LP set.

Oh man, that is tempting!  ... I just might have to plop for that. 

... "After all, I only own an emusic.com download of it now," he begins rationalizing to himself.

IMO, that first Soprano Summit LP -- and the second one -- are their two best.  Dick Hyman on piano is what sets them apart.
