So now we know what is next in the Live from the Penthouse Jim Wilke tapes.

Looks nice.

Anybody know if Ron McClure took over PC's gig or was just subbing? If it was the former, who took McClure's place when he left to take Cecil McBee's place with Charles Lloyd? Or was that the end of The Wynton Kelley Trio as a regular traveling band? Or just what and who, exactly, please?

There's yet more Wes coming from Resonance, I believe--Zev Feldman played a track w/Montgomery and David Baker on trombone last autumn at the Indy Jazz Fest.

Picked this up on Vinyl at Black Friday in November. Reproduction sounds good. I prefer Full House performance with Johnny Griffin. Reminds of the Latest Monk release on vinyl. I enjoyed the music but wasn’t knocked out.

My wife gave me turntable last year and just started listening to vinyl again. I guess my expectations were too great.

Sounds like you married well  .  I think many recordings like this can't possibly live up to our hopes/expectations, we have a lot of been there/done that in our listening experiences at this point.  And by 1965, Montgomery was not breaking new ground the way he was on Full House.   The  release that absolutely did knock my socks off was the Larry Young set they put out.  

[Gdgray]

Yes, I agree. Larry Young exceeded my expectations too. 

Regarding vinyl , I had around 300 records from 60s and 70s that I recently I started playing and 80 percent of them still sound really good. My taste have definitely changed from more guitar oriented albums to hard bop/jazz, string quartets and world music.
