Listening to this for the first time. I was familiar with Ponomarev from his work with Blakey and his debut Means of Identification, but this is in a much higher league than that latter record.

What's Sweet Basil like? I see it has John Hicks in the piano seat.

One of my favourite Blue Note albums.

Those Dorham compositions! 

Whistle Stop is one of my BN faves too.  Superb!

This here is  the best of what Verve recorded of Bird. Two different great quintets. Because it is pure Bird, pure Bop. Other Verves are too bombastic and like 1950´s love films (Volume 1 Temptation), "Bird and Diz" is a disappointment compared with other Bird-Diz collaborations, "Perennial" would have been okay but without Tommy Turk. The one 1953 session with quartet where they play "I remember you" is a good one....
