And Alan Dawson!

Chuck Florence is a pretty interesting case. Lots of influences, but it all comes out in his own voice. He's a Detroiter who gigged with both Mitch Ryder and Jack McDuff before finding his home in Montana. 

I can recommend this one with confidence. Probably the greatest jazz record ever recorded in Bismark, North Dakota as well!

Trust me on this one. 

Oh yeah, Alan Dawson plays vibes on one cut. 

Thanks Jim.

This arrived today and I've heard the first two discs. The sound is much better than what I heard on the preview track, although the label is still having issues proofreading songwriter credits.

Finishing this up.  Here's your likely best album release of the year for 2024.  Shocking that something this magnificent would see the light of day this late in the game (I know there was a bootleg of one track from it some years ago).  Don't understand why Impulse didn't put this out  back in the early 70's, it would have sold as well as a lot of what they were releasing, and would have been a cultural landmark.  This CD release would have fit on one disc instead of two (though barely), and the sound isn't the best (though perfectly acceptable, better than several of the John Coltrane archival releases), but otherwise, this is a gem.
