Woody Shaw Quintet - Seattle 1979: Live At Parnell's

Here's a really exciting live show from the zenith of Shaw's legendary quintet.  It's a bootleg, but of considerable quality.  The mix is fantastic and as far as bootlegs go, excellent.  The original uploader is unknown, as are the details surrounding the recording - it was an FM broadcast.  I was able to capture the audio in full WAV format, and then transferred it to FLAC 16/44.1.  This concert is another example of how not only Woody Shaw, but his entire quintet came to be masters of the form.  The musicianship is second to none while the band interaction is almost psychic in its depth.  This is jazz at its finest... enjoy!!!

    Difficult to believe this was recorded 36 years ago! Whoever put this out did us all a favour. Many thanks for sharing it, poppachubby.

    You're right headman, Shaw's sound is still the future. I don't think anybody has really reconciled the gap he left behind. I plan on sharing a few more so keep your eyes peeled.
