frogman, I have both those discs you posted the song links from.
When I first bought the live Village Vanguard disc I almost wore it out playing it. That was way back before I put my whole music library on my laptop in FLAC format. Over the last 5 years every time I buy a disc it I immediately rip it to my laptop then store it away in pristine condition.
Yes that Village Vanguard recording is a piano-less trio with Sonny out front, Wilbur Ware or Donald Baily on bass, and Pete La Roca or Elvin Jones on the drum kit.
The funny thing is, on the 2 disc set that I have, Sonny introduces Donald Baily and Pete La Roca before the opening song on disc 1 (A Night In Tunisia), but nowhere on either disc does he introduce Wilbur Ware or Elvin Jones.
