I happened to hear a single cut from this set ( "Shaw 'Nuff") played one night by my local fm station here in Pittsburgh, and realized that I had to hear the rest. The intensity of McPherson's work here, as well as the other musicians on the set are a testament to the genuine timelessness of be-bop in the evolution of this music.
A great band and good tunes.Live jazz is the way forward for new listeners to the genre.Check out McPherson's Mood and his version of My Cherie Amour.He is still playing after all these years and was in London recently.Come back soon I missed the gig!
This album is a must have for jazz alto players in particular, as well as the bebop connoisseur. The whole group is burn in', especially on Shawnuff. You'll never hear it played this fast! The R-section is stellar, with a rare appearance by little known Detroit bassist, Ray McKinney who is rock solid throughout.
