So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

I've been poking around in Bill Perkins' discography over the last year or two.  Before that, my only exposure to Perkins was his collaboration with John Lewis on Grand Encounter: 2° East - 3° West.

I'm enjoying this one very much:

Benny Golson played quite often at Jazzland. And I heard him somewhere with Curtis Fuller and a stellar rhythm section. 

My opinion is, he greatest achievments are his compositions, he is one of the great composers of jazz history, but I consider his role as a soloist not as big as his role as a composer. If I listen to his style, there is some of the sound influenced by Don Byas, but somehow I heard solos with a bit of lack of orientation. He also got a bit of Archie Shepp´s sound into his playing. I think I´m not the only one who likes his compositions better than his actual playing. 
 

And he kinda hosted his concerts like announcinc Curtis Fuller this way "look at my saxophone, it has so many keys, and look at his trombone and it has no keys on it...."   uhm....

But after Art Farmer´s death he was very often seen at Jazzland. 

Solos and compositions  -- both great but different;  Also, solo work early on and later differ from each other.

Is that a James Reese Europe album? I hope so as I saw him perform the music at the Barbican.
