The drummer is Jo Jones, Jr., son of "Papa" Jo Jones of early Basie band note. This is an outstanding example of Jo Jr's extraordinary talents. He was completely unknown outside NYC musician circles, and highly underrated. For a period of the 70's and 80's he ran the best jam sessions in NYC, mostly at Barbara's and the Jazz Forum in Greenwich Village. He died in 1989 or thereabouts. Thank you for posting this!
I agree complete. He may not have been as "pyroteknik" as some other contemporary tenor men (tho it wouldn't be fair to say he didn't swing HARDER than most), like Brecker for example, but his sound and phrasing had so much more raw soul and lyricism in it. I love Bob Berg and tho I never met him, his loss is something I feel much sad about at times. When I listen to Brecker, I find he's marvelously talented in terms of facility, swing, tone, he had it all really, but sometimes I'm just like "wtf was that?" A massive wall of notes that have no meaning, really. Flashy, cute even, but not what we need. Bob had that Soul and Presence in his sound that's really individually his. His loss is indescribable.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for posting this! I heard this take of “April Mist” many years ago on RUclips and was never able to find it again…until today. Another great meeting of the minds that will never happen again.
Grazie! Bellissimo! Tutti fantastici Musicisti. Tom Harrell mio eroe,e degno successore dei grandi storici trombettisti Jazz. Ho quasi tutta la sua discografia (comprese le collaborazioni). Un mito.
I think it was Joe Jones Jr. date. I may be wrong but I think when I played with Bob first in 1983 he played the tape of this session already. Thank you, anything with Cedar and Bob together is worth hearing!

Bob Berg's loss was great . A lot more soulful than many much hyped players today. His sound cuts to the heart.
