   My thoughts exactly.   
      
   Similarly I'm not all that keen on the post-1993 releases, with the   
   exception of "Roxy By Proxy": IMHO the best album that band ever released.   
   They're my favourite FZ line-up too, probably because they have the most   
   jazz feel.   
      
   I recently tested that by playing Dizzy Gillespie's "Dizzy On The French   
   Riviera" immediately followed by "Roxy By Proxy". Made a splendid listen   
   with much the same feeling running through both disks.   
      
   DOTFR is my favourite Gillespie album after "New Continent" - both were   
   scored by Lalo Schiffrin and both have him on piano. The two are quite   
   different: NC is big band and quite intense while DOTFR is a 5 piece band   
   playing a spur-of-the-moment gig in front of an invited audience to make   
   the album. If you don't know Gillespie's stuff, this is a good   
   introduction.
