Live in Japan 1963 unfortunately I haven't located any other information about this spectacularly fine performance.  

Update:  And here's a spectacular and beautiful arrangement played by Robert Glasper's trio

I'm not sure but I think it's Vicente Archer an bass and Damion Reid on drums

    1. The same day I posted this you posted the friggin' Kinks from 1967. Robert Glasper's recording is day-old compared with what you typically post.

      We went through you making up the claim that I said that posting jazz standards is "cutting edge" by me noting I never claimed they were last week. I wonder if BG is noticing your short term memory's shot, though maybe she's in denial. Or maybe she's ignoring you.

  2. Apparently, you're unfamiliar with the concept of something called "history." :-)

    1. The Kinks? That's not history, it's trivia.

      Anita O'Day, Oscar Peterson, etc. that's art.
