I enjoyed Leroy walking. Few others did it as well.
Nice cast of disparate characters.
Gerald Wilson doesn’t often feature as a soloist.
Tony Bazely led an interesting life. But is a little ‘stiff’ in this context.
Victor found great success when he moved to California.
Teddy Edwards helped form the hard bop language for the tenor.
Perk always bluesy.
Nice.

About Kenny Drew I’d add this one, defined as “memorable” by AllMusic.

Classy guitarist who made some good records on his own and with the LA 4.

ThePrestige 10 inchers.

I remember buying the original 10inch of the trio as a yoof.
I have owned most of these in various formats through the years.
But I don’t think they have sounded better and cleaner.
Modern jazz life blood.
On Qobuz. With a few sensible notes about the records. Most of the commentary offered now seems to be twaddle written by teenagers.

Qobuz holds two versions, a “live”cand regular recording. The live-one is stunning

And on Tidal though I’m struggling to see which is the real ‘live’ version. Any clues?

They are the same, although only one includes the review. Listen to the identical audience noise and applause at 3:25 in ‘It Had to be You’ for proof.

Thanks, I’ll have a listen.

Two early Ornette albums. Great playing on great tunes.
