I'm the only one in the minority here...
I bought the Shout! Factory CD when it came out many years ago. I tried very hard to like it -- and while his playing is much better than his '60s LPs (SOTB ad GP notwithstanding, of course), there seemed to be a sameness to it all: as though the "band" was laying down a bed into which Herb would drop his horn. I was hoping for more interplay. Route 101 was marvellous, however. I think I'll dig it out of the dungeon and give it another spin (once my listening room is up...still a couple weeks away).
Thanks for the recent posts on this.
