This is a great set. I saw that band live several times and this 2 CD set really captures what I heard.

I agree. Bought this set from Greg in person and he was kind enough to sign it. He is a regular presence in the English Summer - hopefully back doing his stuff next year.

Y'know another advantage of CDs over digital files?  While listening to this disc, I opened up the liner notes booklet only to find the ticket stub from the first time I saw the Gene Harris Quartet -- Feb. 17, 1996 at Ohlone College.  So in addition to enjoying the fun music on this CD, I also got to re-enjoy a few memories of that concert.

Jealous.

Guess you didn't bring a digital recording device to memorialize that show, huh?

For me, it's been a James Moody morning.

Last night I was listening to some tracks from Bill Frisell's newest CD "Valentine"

I first heard him on the German import CD "Deep Dead Blue" - a duo with Elvis Costello. Stunningly gorgeous. And highly recommended.

Frisell's music always takes me to a better place.

that was one of my first CDs in 90s, it was reviewed favorably in the first or second Jazz magazine I ever bought, I liked what I read and so I got it... has rarely worked this smoothly later on...

How is it ?

[Niko]

I am not much of an expert (i.e. I am unfamiliar with other later live releases, only know Mexican Green and the Fontana Box a bit...). I streamed it on and off over the day via https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/free-flight-the-ron-mathewson-tapes-vol-3Bandcamp  and then placed my order... so I liked it a lot, sound doesn't seem to be perfect, but it's just a nice free-bop live set with long tunes, some old standards in there... I think it's very good

[sidewinder]

Thanks - looks like another one for the list !
