    As someone pointed out this is one of the last concerts he did before his death. I give the man credit -he went out the way a great musician should playing to the end.

      hard to admit I've listened and enjoyed jazz since my teens in the '60's..not too much into that progressive jazz but this melo style is the bomb. my grandson has picked up the trumpet, trombone and drums...talk about making my heart sing....lm so happy. the music of today is not in my opinion mysic, just kids making money. but l guess its better than the alternative. long live the Jazz community.

    This piece of music used to intrigue me as a youth. Only the opening of the piece was ever played on the 'Money Programme', & so I later pursued the source to 'The Cat' by Jimmy Smith. It's a Great Album as a whole, & if you like this style of 'Big Band's arrangement, I'd Highly recommend it !
