I feel it was worth it. Sound quality is exceptional and they give you a code for downloading lossless digital files. I’m very happy with the purchase.

1 – Excellent cut, great swing and energy, no guesses. 2 – Another very nice cut, positive funk factor!  Julius Hemphill with Abdul Wadud? 3 – I hope they put him out of his pain soon.  No thanks.  AEC? 4 – Back in the groove.   Classic stuff. 5 – Now I like this a lot, where #3 annoyed me.   Dewey Redman? 6 – Way better than #3, worse than #5 to me.  It’s OK, grows old to me.  Three free cuts out of six total so far?  Dan Gould will not be amused! 7 -  Love this, a cut that gets past my head to my soul.  Can’t wait for reveal, and sure hope I have it on the shelves somewhere (or if not, that I can remedy it soon).  Master players. 8 – My wife was very fond of Bosco cartoons as a child, but this one is not for me. 9 – Also not for me.  World music, I guess. 10 – Get on the good foot!  Plays great in the background, smooth as can be. 11 –  Cut #4 from this, much better known from the soundtrack of a movie I’ve never seen.  I’ve never really connected with this singer. What a varied BFT, thanks!   7 is sublime, 2, 4 and 5 of definite interest.  1 and 10 also winners in my book.

The cd set has not yet been released, so that may explain no reviews of that, and the LP set is even more prohibitively expensive. I have the cd set on pre-order and ordered the two volumes of Stan Getz at Zardi's to help with the postal bite, but have about three to four weeks to wait yet before one is received. Judging from the other sets of theirs I have I expect the sound quality to be the best the source would be.

10. Of course it reminds The Meters "Cissy Strut", another one similar is Reuben Wilson "Bus ride". Ultra funky.
