Back in the day, this and a couple of other albums on eMu included the full recording of a "Live at the Five Spot" performance by this lineup. Another member posted the correct order for the setlist, so you could make a playlist of the whole concert. All gone now, although I suppose that's the label's doing rather than eMu's. As with a lot of the Prestige stuff, glad I got it while I had the chance.
I've been working on a draft for MiG on David Olney and it got me in the mood to pull out this old CD. I forgot how good it is. Olney gets some help from Dead Reckoners Kieran Kane, Mike Henderson, and Fats Kaplan on this one.
Joe is one of my top artists, but I tend to forget about this one. The unmistakable sound of John Scofield on guitar. Others include Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jack DeJohnette on drums, Dave Holland on bass, and Stefon Harris on vibes. Top-notch album.
The wishbone suite by Andy Clausen -- very nice work of composed Jazz, sounding a lot like the compositions of Poulenc. Recommended if you like your Jazz to get classical. $5
ETA: the album moves in lots of different directions. It's really good. There's an early live version of the work available Free/nyop.
@BN - I am streaming Sky Bells via bandcamp now. Very nice, although I had the volume up too high in the headphones so when the bells first rang my brain just about popped.
Collection of '50's Solomon Burke I just got at eMu - backed by King Curtis, Al Caiola on guitar, the Ray Charles Singers - pretty good so far, very old school R&B, some songs almost hokey in that '50's kind of style. Better listing on the Amazon page but not much info.

amclark - thanks you reminded me I still had the second CD of this set to play!
I haven't played this in ages - I'd forgotten some of the tracks after the first two
It's back on Sunday. Finally.
