Really Bill Evans in that sourrounding looks astonishing. How is the sound? Gerorge Russels big band arrangements can sound kinda weird and farout sometimes?

WP: Kenny Dorham – Una Mas (One More Time) Label: Blue Note – 7243 5 21228 2 0 Series: RVG Edition – Format: CD, Album, Remastered, Reissue Country: US Released: 29 Mar 1999 Bass – Butch Warren Composed By – Kenny Dorham (tracks: 1 to 3) Drums – Tony Williams* Piano – Herbie Hancock Tenor Saxophone – Joe Henderson Trumpet – Kenny Dorham Recorded April 1, 1963. One of the rare cases in which a bonus track doesn't really hold up to the main album. Dorham's compositions through track 3 are phenomenal and the playing is top notch. Excellent album!

Frenetic, with some great bass playing from Oliver. Paul Murphy is a new one on drums to me as well. He's all over the place here.
Coleman Hawkins, Barry Harris, Bill Berry, Buddy Catlett, Eddie Locke, Eugene Young, Urbie Green – Wrapped Tight (1965)
Now: Great music, but I don't like extreme right/left separation and the prominent drums in the mix - though it doesn't really sound as a "mix"
