Yep, picked up a copy at the time - was a winner IMHO

I had a number of communications with Michael in the 90s suggesting a BH Mosaic set - he was keen but had difficulty in choosing a cut-off date so in the end it didn't happen, until now

The very best of Waldron/Lacy recorded live (over 4 hours worth) in Paris over 4 days in mid August '81 - spectacular music

or you can get 5LPs (57-61) on 3 CDs via Fresh Sounds (all of the above minus the Atlantic with an Argo LP "Dorothy Ashby" added) https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/dorothy-ashby-albums/5708-the-jazz-harpist-5-lps-on-3-cds.html?search_query=dorothy+ashby&results=1

AFAIK there were only 100 sets issued Of the 60 tracks covering the 6CD set only 11 had been previously released (including one from an earlier LAJI CD)

The Fletcher Henderson disc (Vocalion & Pathe 1924-5) looks interesting but unfortunately 11 of the 25 tracks have been previously released on the Henderson/Armstrong Forte 3CD set, making it less appealing to me

This relatively recent AA release (5LP/4CD) should certainly be up there

[Y707]Add Lee Young Lee And Lester Young's Band : Red "Mack" Morris (tp) Bumps Myers (ts) Lester Young (ts,vcl) Jimmy Rowles (p) Louis Gonzales (g) Red Callender (b) Lee Young (d) prob."Club Capri", Hollywood, CA, prob c.

I have the recording (Prez Box, Vol. 1) - absolutely abysmal SQ but the tenor definitely sounds like Lester

and aren't those shirts so timeless & groovy

I second that as this would have to be in my top 5 from this category https://www.discogs.com/release/29224915-Various-LA-Jazz-Institute-Presents-The-Complete-Crazy-Sunday-At-The-Lighthouse-September-13-1953

OMG I'm shocked - he was a vital force in keeping the Blue Note label (and many others) alive - whenever I see those twofer BN LPs from the 70s I think of him I have a number of letters from him sent throughout the 90s, pre email days RIP Michael

also good coverage in Wickes "Innovations In British Jazz"

a contemporary of Joe Harriott though a bit younger
