Woody Shaw is always a great treat.

Lovely Shaw title on Muse recorded live in Berlin in 1976. It features a great group with Louis Hayes and Frank Foster among others. René McLean, Jackie Mac’s son, is also featured which is quite cool. Didn’t know he had a son who was a musician.

The music is some awesome post bop with top playing by all involved. Woody Shaw was such an amazing artist and he is definitely on my top 5 list of favorite trumpeters now. Since I started to explore his work I’ve really felt I’ve been missing out in the past. Better late than never, right?
