Remember seeing Wes in Ronnie Scott's, in the basement in Gerrard Street- he just played and played for hours on end.

I hadn't realised until now that he died not long afterwards. Perhaps the pressure of stardom was too much for him.

Nothing on Radio 3 at all. Isn't it interesting that habits change. I'd like to listen to Radio 3 again. However things have changed. And let's be frank NPR is much better for jazz than Radio 3. And WBGO probably too.

Hey - maybe I was there on the same night! It was my second visit to Ronnie's: the first time had been to see Zoot Sims and Al Cohn.

Welcome to the "bored" though, francisco - we chat about all sorts of jazz besides what's on radio 3.

Onl two thumbs up? I’d say it deserves at least three.

It is very good. However - this is just my personal taste - I prefer vols. 1 and 2 (in that order as well) simply because the of the concept of the second great quintet is so great, the whole band just sounds more sophisticated and adventurous (John Coltrane notwithstanding on vol. 6!) and as for volume 2, that is an amazing fusion of post-bop and jazz-rock which also gets quite 'out-there'.

I have them all and I wouldn't know where to start in deciding my favourite - which is probably an excuse for listening to them again.

Volume 5 was fascinating for an insight into how Miles worked in the studio - and he wasn't the grumpy sourpuss that I'd expected.

Quite possibly! Went there many times in the 60's, mainly to hear Sonny Rollins. I recall once I went with my brother, and as Sonny finished his set, he waltzed over and stood between us at our table, blasting our eardrums with his horn!

This is said, I believe, to have been the working relationship that sent Archie Shepp along a freer path than up to that point.
