What a fantastic recording. I picked this one up 3 years ago. You chose a another good one. For me, this is easily McBride's very best effort. While McBride, in my opinion, is one the best bassist of his generation I find his work as a leader to be somewhat inconsistent; while his work as a supporting player is always solid. Like you, I typically appreciate live recordings over studio recordings. The personnel on this recording is exception throughout and they all swing hard, as you alluded to. In addition, the tunes are all excellent and if I'm not mistaken, I believe they are all original songs and no standards. Another nice segment Mathew.
