Disc 6 (2011-Gift)
I'm going with Disc 5 here. Disc 6 has much less inventive material than disc 5 which covers the 60's and 70's. In fact, the material on 6 doesn't really take many chances at all. Plus there is yet another version of Maple Leaf Rag on it. And it's completely a straight ahead take. Does a six disc set really need three versions of Scott Joplin-who I remind everyone isn't really a Jazz player?

Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns-Let The Healing Begin (2007-Artists Table)
Have to give the nod to JB here. I love Santa Fe. Highly recommended disc. But a Funky R&B disc with a killer horn section just wouldn't exist without James Brown and the Famous Flames. Again, highly recommended. Can't find the disc at the moment. Maybe I loaned it out. But if you love R&B, search this record out. And if you don't love this record, see a doctor quick.
