Nice, but different, if memory serves, Boat to NY.
When you get the time, talk about The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra vs Wynton's group at Lincoln Center.
I just got the CD of NOJO with Cyrille Aimee.
Thanks
Cheers

Wes Montgomery SMOKIN' AT THE HALF NOTE Verve 1965 / 2005 Wynton Kelly(piano), Wes Montgomery(guitar), Paul Chambers(bass), Jimmy Cobb(drums) Notes: A legendary session recorded live at a New York nightclub, Smokin' at the Half Note captures Wes Montgomery at the height of his improvisational powers....Many consider it the best performance on record by one of the most inventive guitarists in Jazz history.

Art Farmer SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR : THE MUSIC OF BILLY STRAYHORN Comtemporary 1987 Flugelhorn: Art Farmer, Saxophone: Clifford Jordan, Piano: James Williams, Bass (vocal): Rufus Reid, Drums: Marvin Smith Art Farmer appeared quite often on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Billy Strayhorn, Ellington collaborator, died of cancer, and he wrote several tunes based on his ordeal, such as, Blood Count, Unit 7, and Upper Manhattan Medical Group. Creepy.

Modern Jazz Quartet DEDICATED TO CONNIE Atlantic Records 2CD Set 1960 / 1995 Notes: Last December our friend and drummer of 40 years, Connie Kay, passed away. In an effort to re-live some of the marvelous moments we had been fortunate to share with him, I began going through some of our concert tapes recorded all over the world during our long career. In doing so I stumbled upon this 1960 Live Recording that we made in Slovenia. In my opinion, never before or since has the Modern Jazz Quartet played better, whether on stage or in the recording studio. -- John Lewis, February, 1995
