I particularly like the way Holman arranged the version of "If You Could See me Now"

 

😁 👍 ❤️

I do like this one too that is  nearly everything from Boll & his big band + many arrangememnts for other groups. He brought even Stans band to swing like mad.

Throughout Europe he directed many radio bigbands of the different countries as from Switzerland, Germany (WDR big band / radio Frankfurt big band/ radio Hamburg big band)  and also in the Netherlands. A real giant he was.

Funny... if this was released on one of Boris Rose's LPs, you couldn't sell it on discogs. But when Jordi puts it out on Fresh Sounds, it's fine. Still a bootleg. 1981 is way way out of the public domain is Spain, where this CD set was released.

Too bad Sal's family couldn't get a cut of this. They could probably use it.

Walter Bishop Jr. - Midnight Blue

Walter Bishop Jr. is , to my ears, one of the least interesting piano soloists of his generation.

As a sideman, his playing tends, In my view, to be fine, but as a trio pianist his playing does not compare with a very large number of other jazz piano players  and is frequently rather dull.
