Notes:  This stellar trio seems to know each other so well that they can finish one another's musical phrases without it feeling like some sort of competition. All three are stars in their own right, but together they become a single unit. This is a German import on the always welcome Pablo label. I love the simple black 7 white photos they use to adorn their front covers. These may not be the most sought after of Oscar's recorded output, but I always feel there's something special in these sessions. This one was recorded at the London House, Chicago in 1973. Remember, you can never have enough of Oscar and his friends.

Line Up:
