Amram's Subway Night

Greetings Mr Wise;
I know you have referred to this record before but I found a copy of this album today in the jazz bins at a local used vinyl shop. I am listening to "Mean Dean" as I type this.The format was not quite what I was expecting however the musicianship on this date is, of course, outstanding. I have heard Mr. Amram's Latin Jazz Celebration LP which I enjoyed very much. It must have been interesting freelancing in NYC back then (and still). One of my mantras as a trumpet teacher was "Be Versatile". Any thoughts about the scene past and present, being versatile etc.>
Thanks.
