"I picked up the lp version of this CD when it was orginally issued back in 1978. The main reason for purchassing was a recommendation by the now defunct "Stereo Review" magazine, which called the track, "Joe's Blues" one of the greatest moments in the career of Joe Williams. I agree with this assessment wholeheartedly. While the entire disc is enjoyable, this one track makes this a CD for the ages. Because of the way it is labled, this CD is hard to find in most computer files. But I hope others will come across this review or the CD and add this outing to their collection. I am truly glad I am able to add it to my CD collection."

Live Big Band with Joe Williams

"Not too much additional can be said that wasn't covered by beeper99 in the earlier writeup. I also had this originally on vinyl and I also believe that "Joe's Blues" is one of the best cuts ever recorded by Joe Williams. Joe was in great form that night....probably in the best period of his magnificent career!The other cuts are very good..... the band was really cooking that night. Another highlight of the session was Benny Carter's "Souvenir" with the solo by the great alto saxist Marshal Royal."
