I've been listening to this album for a week or so -- it is terrific. I love Moran's ending to Monk's Crepuscule with Nellie -- it is very witty and for some reason reminds me of the ending of Carl Nielsen's symphony number 6, a laughing in the face of death kind of thing. The Jaki Byard song is quite a ride also.One question: Is the bass on this album an electric bass? It is done quite well, but on whole I think I prefer the sound of an acoustic bass.
