  3. I would say this is at least at the level of the Special Edition. You can't fail with Lester Bowie.

  4. thank you so much for this great blog!!!!

    I´m looking for another rendition of "Silver Hollow" by this group, other than the studio album, since longtime...

    The "golden age" of DeJohnette (76/83)!!!!!

  5. Saw this band live in a small college venue. They were on fire. Good to have this session, thanks.

  6. Probably the unknow #1 is a different version of the beautiful "bayou Fever", without that haunting theme line with drums then trumpet, but with a lot of the musical phrases we can hear on the "Live in Europe" version...and the unknow #3 (track 5)is a rushed rendition of the Art Ensemble of Chicago´s great "Charlie M", from the album "Full Force"...

    thanks,

  7. Lovely set from an unforgettable band. I'm wondering, who's that playing piccolo or whistle? Anyone have a clue? Perhaps a local guest?

    Love the blog . . .
