CD 3

[jazzbo]

"Tenors Head-On"
Bill Perkins & Richie Kamuca
Japan cd UCCU-8247

[Gheorghe]

Really nice set of Monk. 
All players are great. Larry Gales even plays some very fine bowed bass solo on Well You Needn´t that reminds me of Chamber´s solo on the same tune on "Steamin´". Ben Riley is fantastic. I saw him only once, with the Ron Carter Quartet in 1979. 
The only thing that´s a bit disturbing here is that the bass is too loud. I don´t know what kind of attachments were used in the late 60´s , but the bass is too loud.

A number of fine solos from many of the players in the group. I was especially impressed by the hard swinging of pianist Lou Levy.

"Booker Little 4 and Max Roach" Japan cd 2021 UCCU-8253

Uses the 2011 TOCJ master.

Original recording could be better, but it's hard to imagine better playing.
