This is obviously really good. I'd like to hear George with Horace Silver. That would just be the perfect pairing.

Nice tune, but IMHO, Aaron Scott was over-playing on the cimbals, esp. during Tyner's solo, but really throughout the tune. Sometimes, less is more...

This is KILLER!

So smooth

Avery is an wonderful bassis and one of my favorites. I absolutely loved this version of McCoy's trio.

sir, you're so right. 'It's uptown' is such a remarkable record. Anyhow, if ya like - checkout 'Boogaloo Joe Jones', a highly underrated guitarist from the same era. he had record called 'right on, brother', with bernard purdie on drums.

Well, I consider myself a "true funk" fan and I just LOVE "Give me the night"!! (and I also dig GB's early organ trio/quartet albums, by the way, when he sounded like a revved up, fast motion Grant Green...)

Benson was one of the funkiest dudes in the late 60s and early 70s, up there with Grant Green. Things changed when he signed for Warner Bros in the 70's and started making commercial funk, having all those 'Philly sound' hits in the process. But true funk and blues fans will always hold Benson in reverence for his ability to play this stuff so well. Everyone else just dances to 'Give me the Night!' at wedding discos!!

Thanks for the info Torsten. The fact that you're German and such an ardent follower of Benson makes a persuasive case for Munich.

That's interesting Kevin. I've often seen this gig listed as Philharmonie Munich. Thanks for jogging the memory cells regarding the title - I have this somewhere on a Lou Donaldson recording.
