    • I'm actually anticipating it will have even less jazz content as has been the case for most "jazz" festivals these days.
    • Indeed. I just listened to the song back to back on vinyl (CBS 62456) and on CD (Columbia Roots'n'Blues 2-CD set), and that test pressing indeed sounds markedly clearer.  But since this test pressing is Take 2 again, one thing baffles me: How come the originally issued master (take 1) apparently was bypassed in favor of take 2 for many (most?) reissues from the 60s onwards? CBS 62456 (originally Columbia CL 1654) has take 2, Goodrich & Dixon also list several reissues for take 2 but none for Take 1.  The first reissue of Take 1 I've found is on the Roots label from 1971. Reissues that have take 2 started in 1961, however. So did those blues rock legends of the 60s who absorbed RJ for inspiration ever get to hear the ACTUALLy released version of that tune back in the day, I wonder?  The Roots'n'Blues set has both takes, and they are interesting to compare. To me the vocals on take 1 do sound rougher. 
    • No knowledge, but it does not surprise me. Oscar gets knocked around a bit, which I think is basically unjustified.   The man could play with just about anyone--and he did play with people from different generations and with different styles.  For instance, he made a fine album with Freddie Hubbard.  
    • I don't have Manhattan Moods in my collection, but I have heard it.  I found it not as impressive as I expected, but some nice moments--and one great performance in their reading of "Blue Monk."
