4.0 out of 5 stars Indeed a party, August 25, 2007

I love jam sessions where artists have a chance to roll on with their talents in prolonged sections. I guess that's what expected and was a bit disappointed. Many of the songs are 3-4 minute versions. It was indeed a party atmosphere and the frequent "noises" of encouragement and enjoyment from the crowd got in the way for me. The sound was less than optimal. Great talent, just not quiet what I had hoped for.

Wow! This is a really great assemblage of takes from the Art Ford Jazz Party. Charlie Shavers is in great form, as are Prez and the other greats heard here. My guess this is from the Boris Rose files.

Buy it!
