Thanks for the link. The problem with such sites is that they do not offer the complete album for download, buying bits and pieces for an album like this one just interrupts the flow. Works fine for general jazz and rock, though, as a sampler. I am now listening to his Standards Trio's (25 years together and still going strong!) version of Miles Davis' "Solar", recorded in Tokyo in 1993.
