I would also note Peter Washington's walking lines, melodic in the utmost and very fitting to Akiyoshi's Japanese-minded compositions. During their MJF set Akiyoshi actually applauded him after an especially incredible solo break. I also wish Tabackin would lay off and let Akiyoshi's playing come through better.
