I know I just offered up some Clifford Brown recently, but during one of those massive filing sessions I ran across this. And lest it get lost in the shuffle, I present it now....Just two long tracks. Caravan feels like it was shot out of a blunderbuss, while Autumn takes its time developing. Each has their merits. I can't even for the life of me, imagine what it would have been like to see this stuff in a small bar!
Caravan is one of my favorite all time songs. I freaking love the way this band treats it.

Thank you very much.
Maini is very fine, and Benton , while not very well known, was in some great places at the right times.
Thanks for this gem
Thank yoy very much!
Just been listening to EmArcy's 'Best Coast Jazz', so really up for this.
Many, many thanks...
A great session, hooks. Thanks for sharing this. And you're right about Caravan.
I'm not sure this was ever a working band. Several of the personnel (Geller, Benton, Curtis Counce who played bass) were first calls for Emarcy recording dates.
