Orf- Don't know this recording (is it new?) but I know the artists. Glad to see someone appreciates them, too. Ive always liked Shepp's ballad work in particular. There is a cat from eastern Europe named Heinz Sauer who plays ballads especially well also and seems to be a kindred spirit to Shepp, IMO. It seems to me that it was Mal Waldron on piano on Dolphy's Five Spot dates. I got stuff in storage I haven't listened to in years (got an old recording of Shepp with Bill Dixon from the avant garde jazz days), I really need to remedy that. Thanks.
Mj- I'm gonna check that one out just as soon I come back from this trance listening to Echoes.
(later) Not much later than I said that, they (Echoes) switched to some really boring stuff. Maybe it's just me but I can't seem to get much consistency from them. And I was really getting gone. And yet, it's gotten somewhat better just now. Still, they piss me off on average.
(later still) Mj- Couldn't find a way to hear samples.
