Robert Dick - Third Stone from the Sun (1993)

Just such a great record. I've been mixing up this and some Fathead Newman today, so it's been a flute epic.

2 different flute players for sure.

Coltrane is so great !!! 

Only on one tune where they used another drummer than Elvin, the drummer does not fit to Trane´s great solo, you could imagine how this would have sounded with Elvin. 

Ellington has a unique piano style. It´s more an "arranger´s style" maybe in the way Basie did it, or later Tadd Dameron did it , or on ballads it´s a bit more impressionistic. That "bell" sound on the intro of "Sentimental". 

The best on piano is Ellingtons comping on "The Feeling of Jazz". That´s some really great chords.

I have all BN´s of Dexter but the only one I´m really fond of is "GO". 
Doin´Allright is ok, but Al Harewood is not necessarly my most favourite drummer, it´s a bit "tame", 

On the other hand, "Dexter Calling" as a dream team rhythm section, but somehow it doesn´t work as well for Dexter as others. 

Our Man In Paris is great as a vintage bop re-unit. 

But "GO" with Billy Higgins is the best "pure Gordon"  in my opinion.

Yes I have this also, it is from the same date, but if I have to choose between the two, I prefer "Go"

Don´t know what Spotfy is......

Not sure why you need a big band when you ARE a big band all by yourself, but nobody gets hurt. Plus, a legit Zawinul rhythm section keeps it real.

Do we miss Wayne? Of course we do. But the energy is good here, and at the end of the day, it's night, which is how it's supposed to work anyway.

Pretty sure there's a dance band here!
