Look great to me!  Their 1990 collaboration, Priestess, is quite wonderful.

Thanks. I stumbled across those last week, wondered if they were good but never followed up.

I put a cut from Priestess on one of my early BFT's, and it was widely praised, though no one could identify it apart from Harper's work.  It's like getting a Billy Harper big band album.

The first one was quite great. Many of Masters' records are.

So yeah, getting this one too!

What would have been great is if Billy had hooked up for the Ryan Truesdell things. 

What, no Bandcamp link?

Oh, there's two records! Both, then.

The three Gil Evans Project records. The first two (one studio, one live) were thru Artist Share and might be OOP now. There's a new live one that seems to be a step down on first listen.

The first, studio, one is a simply superior endeavor.
