Amos Garrett, whom I discovered through his being mentioned frequently in Spider Robinson novels.

This finally broke the post-Galax (Fiddlers Convention) depression I've been in all week... I was starting to wonder what it was going to take!

Just watched Yessongs, the movie; a concert film performed in 1972, the Close To The Edge tour.  Sound quality isn't great, but certainly not bad.  Steve Howe's guitar sound is quite good, and I think it brings out his playing better than live videos from later decades, though the overall quality of the later recordings is better, if that makes any sense.  Overall, it was good to see the band playing so well at that time.  It is, I think, an important document.

I’ve been listening to Yes, Fragile, off and on in the car for about three weeks now, that music is so good!  :)

The Second Great Quintet - Stockholm 1967

Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams

This is just amazing stuff.  Over the years I've returned to this band's music from time to time, and it seems I learn (or perhaps just soak in) a little more each time.  This time I seemed to get a little more out of Footprints, the second tune in the set.  Just amazing music, and an amazing group of musicians; and a high point in the history of music.

Ellington at Newport '56 doing "Diminuendo In Blue" and 'Crescendo In Blue", tied together by Paul Gonsalves's legendary 27-chorus solo.

Dave - Yes Songs was a very impactful album for me (us).  I forwarded the And You and I to my brother to remind him....   watching that and the Yes Songs just reaffirms what a fabulous musician Chris was.

I remember buying a blouse at Goodwill that had very large balloon sleeves strictly for the purpose of looking like Chris on stage!   ;D   ::)

It's been a while since I've watched Ken Burns Jazz, but my recollection is that therein it is asserted that Gonsalves' solo was so well received by the audience at Newport that it revived the popularity of Ellington's band (checking Wikipedia now and yes, it's stated there as well).

Listening now; thanks!
