It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I like the original band better...

I agree. That band was spectacular. This was the next group that Wynton settled on. I did not know the pianist. He must have been in between Marcus Roberts and Eric Reed. Looks like Harold O'Neal but I could be wrong. I did like Levee Loan Moan best initially but over the years, I think I came to appreciate the other two records in the series just as much if not more. You should pull them back out when you have time to see what they sound like now. Levee Low Moan really grew on me and I think that record was a better fit for that particular band. It sort of took Deep in The Shed (by Marcus Roberts) one step further. Its a nice listening record. Its subtle..light. See link below to get the gist.

Black Codes From The Underground still is one of the all time great jazz LPs. Just a phenomenal concept and the level of execution by the musicians is just magical. I hear guys today still quoting elements of some of Kenny's solos. What a loss...I really believe the break up of that band crushed Wytnon. They were just getting started. I appreciated your comments.
