Holy Ghost Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 Reason why I love jazz. Grew up with this stuff in the 70's "feels so good" was on the radio all the time. I love Foreigner, Boston, and Kiss, just as much, but thanks especially to my Mom, grew up listening to George Benson, Chuck Mangione, and Spyro Gyra, too. Weird ass twist. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 A warm, clear, dry morning. A great way to start the day is this nicely-recorded gently swinging session. “Paul Meyers Quartet featuring Frank Wess with special guest Andy Bey” Miles High cd Guitarist Paul Meyers, Frank Wess on tenor saxophone and flute, bassist Martin Wind, drummer Tony Jefferson–Andy Bey on “Lazy Afternoon” Quote
jazzbo Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 I forgot what a great album this is with that vibe that only Big Joe backed by Basie can really deliver so well. Great band!

Johnson - trombone Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis - tenor saxophone Zoot Sims - tenor saxophone Quote

Just didn't dig the record. 7 hours ago, Peter Friedman said: Vol.2 What's the packaging look like inside? Original artwork like the outside box indicates? Quote
