I agree with chazro about TOP’s peak record. Back To Oakland is a great record; but I think that peak record status needs to be shared with Urban Renewal. Maybe putting too fine a point on things since they were both recorded the same year (1974),...

Schubert, glad you enjoyed that J Henderson recording. I agree, as good as it gets. Top NY guys. It’s an interesting thing how, just as we speak of the differences between East Coast vs West Coast players as soloists, those differences give the en...
