Cedar Walton (with Eddie Harris) - Ancona 1984

Here's another one... Pianist Cedar Walton and his fine trio with David Williams and Idris Muhammad, playing with the late great Eddie Harris!

They were both born in 1934 - Eddie left this place far too early! He's one of the big unsung greats, not taken nearly as serious as a bad-ass jazz artist than he should have been. But that's too late now!

This needed quite some work, and it's far from perfect, but it's great hearing Eddie in such a fine band!

:: ubu's edits ::
gap removal in EAC wouldn't work as there were tiny bits of the next track at the end (after the gaps!) of the tracks, hence I removed them manually with Cool Edit
I also fixed a couple of rough spots (most notably a glitch at the opening of "Bolivia" - there are others later on which I didn't think I could handle properly - small portions are duplicated, it seems)
Finally, the track marks were corrected
