here’s nice line-up, led by george russell, from 1964. i don’t remember hearing a jazz version of you are my sunshine before (and not for a long time in any other style you’d care to mention). the last four tracks have been released on a bootleg, btw, along with 4 tracks from another show. i wonder why they do that — for me, it much more interesting as a full concert (though one often takes what one can get, sometimes!).
