    Wow! George Russell followed by Gil Evans - two of my favourite jazz people and linked by the fact that I was due to see Gil back in 1988. Unfortunately he died shortly before the gig and it was introduced by...George Russell.

    Look forward to hearing this.

    Great concert. Track 3 is Theme for the Eulipians. It is a Roland Kirk composition.

    Thanks a lot and a lot, Riccardo !!! very rare, as your previous GE/Lee Konitz post ! Track 2 is Monks' "Rythm-a-ning", Track 4 is Jimi Hendrix "Freedom", so it's a unique piece in GE playing the Hendrix repertory, as I don't know any other version by the GEO.
