I was digging around my collection to see what items I had that I had not seen on dime & do not show on the databases. I found this Directions Era Herbie Show which I got in a trade. Not a close/vivid capture but quite clean especially after listening to a song or two. I thought I would share it with those Herbie/Micheal Heads who don't have it already. Plus it's a chance to savor Michael Brecker's gift which I thought would be around much longer. His Fans will want this just for the solo Naima. Beautiful/ Amazing.

RE: Sound Quality. It is a pretty clean aud- IMO- but recorded a bit toward the back of the hall- so little distant. Anybody know what hall this might be? Anyway, Crank this one up a bit!





Request: Does anybody have a copy of a recording of "Miles Tribute Band" from Berkeley, CA 92'? I attended this show & once had a DAT sourced cassette copy but lent it out for remaster w/o return : (



enjoy,
