Amazingly back to the NTSU with Lab '81





I never would have thought I'd return to this series, but here we are.  Good thing I did return, because this one is good.  Showing I should have pursued it farther and not given up.  A couple of 'throwaway' standard charts and the remainder very strong fusion-big band composition with some really intelligent ideas, all on 2-LP set.  Many, many thanks to the ripper!

Evening in Lucerne:




Lovely stuff.

    Young Jim Snidero and Tim Ries in the saxophone section - and Bisonnette brothers on bass and drums. Can't wait to hear this!

  5. Wasn't Lyle Mays part of that ensemble in 1975? Unless I am totally daft he did attend the school during the mid 70s prior to his famous run in with Mr. Metheny.

    1. If you ever come across those Mays recordings please do post as they are some of the earliest recordings in his career.
