I was totally wrong, it was my fav set there other than Scofield's Piety St. Band. Bobby Militello was just wonderful with his sound but also his beuatiful ideas an execution, he totally sings though his instrument, and Michael Moore had a better sound and intonation on acro bass than most every symphonic bassist I have heard. I HAVE to find out what that ballad that they played where Bobby played flute was, that was stunningly beautiful. It seemed like maybe it was one of Duke's things for the symphonic work he did, but I don't know - gotta find out, though.
