Now listening to Yusef Lateef's Hush 'n' Thunder (Atlantic, 1973):

Obviously both co-leaders take the laurels, but the Rhythm Section is outstanding ....

True.  But no credit to the piano tuner or lack thereof...

It just gives it an Ornetteish edge.

Jerry Garcia Band “Jerry Live! Vol. 21” 2 cd set, cd 1

A great band, his '76-'77 band with Keith and Donna Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt. Jerry is playing a Travis Bean guitar here, not my favorite of his axes, but some great playing.

Thanks for calling this one out. Never knew about it. Lester/Basie 1944 is always something I will check out, so I found a good cheap copy and am listening now. Not a LOT of Pres, but there's no such thing as "not enough" new Lester to pique my interest!

Finally cooled down upstairs here and I’m starting off with a disc I finally bought, listening to it for the second time, and really enjoying it.
