I listened to Bill Evans - Say Listen and that was a really nice gem. Another great hidden gem is 'Dancing in the Street' by Ramsey Lewis. Cheers 
Speakers "Disappearing"

Have you moved from tubed amplification to solid state amplification... Why?

If not Cannonball, maybe a young Joe Henderson or a Sonny Rollins. In either case I don't believe neither would of made KOB the album it is today. Cannonball worked extremely well with Coltrane, with their ability to exchange improvisational harmo...
