Quiet Kenny. Kenny Dorham.

Good one.

[Henk]

Disc 1. The track 'Eye of the Hurricane' is quite cool imo.
Recording quality is quite poor.

Dizzy.

This album was partially recorded by a quintet that replicated the great Miles Davis Quintet of the '60s, with the only difference being that the trumpeter there was someone else, Freddie Hubbard.

That same year, 1977, another double live album with a similar title, Quintet V.S.O.P., was released. I remember the vinyl sounded amazingly good, as did other albums by the V.S.O.P. Quintet. I'm not sure I ever listened to this lineup later on, on CDs or streaming.

By the way, I can recommend a recording made a few years later by Herbie Hancock's quartet with Ron Carter and Tony Williams, featuring the then-rising young Wynton Marsalis. Recorded in 1981, it includes a fabulous version of Eye of the Hurricane.

Thanks for the commentary.
I found the album with Marsalis, will listen to it. Miles Davis probably wouldn't have liked it much.

The feud between Davis and Marsalis has been well documented—there are various anecdotes about it. With time, it no longer feels so crucial or important. I clearly remember the impression made by Marsalis's first album, or his participation in the Hancock Quartet recording mentioned above. It was really great for its time. Marsalis's later experiments, however, didn't interest me much.
