When this first popped up from what I gather no one knew where it was recorded. Somehow the mystery was solved and it was determined to be from a venue in Detroit, Michigan. My back yard so to speak. I will say I wish I could have been at this one. Jean-Luc Ponty, George Duke, Ruth Underwood etc, it's one of the best live line ups you could get, if only Flo & Eddie were there too!

Anyway there was a bit of work done on this one by all the people who's names follow the title. It's explained on the included info text file. This is a great listen so grab it fast because the link is permanent.

This Wednesday I figured something different to get us through Hump Day...Some Frank Zappa should take your mind off things for a while. This is a fabulous show that I know everyone will love...

Walter Booker - bass
Roy McCurdy - drums

Another great show from My very deep Jazz Archive. This one also comes from the now terribly missed web site, BigO. The Legendary Cannonball Adderley with the also Legendary George Duke in his band put on one hell of a show here. I actually have this one spinning right now enjoying my coffee and My Sunday Morning Jazz. What BigO said about this show is bellow.

What BigO Said:
From the Miles Davis Sextet in 1959 to appearing on the Kung Fu TV series in 1975; and even getting a tribute by Joe Zawinul on Weather Report’s Black Market album, that’s a big arch for anyone, but probably all in a day’s work for Cannonball Adderley.

This is a fine electric jazz show from a finely-honed unit. Keyboardist George Duke has some stellar moments on "Black Messiah" while Cannonball’s brother, Nat Adderley, gets to shine on "Hummin’". Meanwhile, "Soli Tomba" entrances with its Asian feel. For those not familiar with this show (seems well circulated among Cannonball fans), you will be easily tempted to leave it on repeat mode.

Thanks to dan_augen who shared the tracks on the net back in 2006.

Another great George Duke performance this one also featuring former Weather Report members Alphonso Johnson and Chester Thompson. With talent like that on stage you just cant miss.

I downloaded this from BigO a great place for MP3 bootlegs of various genres. Big O's original comments are included in the download.

With a line-up like this it has to be good. Billy Cobham (Mahavishnu Orchestra etc), George Duke (Frank Zappa etc), Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Santana etc), and a young John Scofield (Gary Burton, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis etc). This one should definitely not be missed by any Jazz Fan.
