Thanks for the heads up - I'll look for this as I tend to get anything with Kenny on it.

Kenny and Stan Sulzmann are always great together. I picked up a CD (from Mole Jazz when I was in London last year) called "Ordesa" on Symbol Records. It is a trio of Kenny (flugelhorn & trumpet), Stan (tenor, soprano & flute) and John Parricelli (guitars) Wonderful stuff.

I love his line when asked about his time with Anthony Braxton in the 70s - "I don't know if it was any good but it was a lot of fun to play."
