Discogs says that Andy Warhol did the cover art. Didn't know that. The copy I'm listening to actually has this (more familiar) cover:

👍👌 👌👍

This thread has some good reading. Now I'm on the lookout for this one: Also missed the OJC when it was around.

Mamacita Lisa! (Check out Jimmy Owens' solo. And Edwards'.)

There's a Fresh Sounds release of this one, but I don't think it was an OJC (unless it appeared in a 2-fer). Or this one...

Listening to Seasons now—really good. I don't know Mel Ellison; a fine player.

That Copenhagen concert is quite good—but it would benefit from some digital cleaning up. Having now listened to the full Helsinki concert on Bandcamp, I have to say that it's even more exciting. I'm a little surprised that this "lost recordings" disc doesn't include the Copenhagen concert. It's nice when "ezz-thetics" can release material that isn't on the Revenant box—and apparently in cooperation of Desiree Ayler. I wonder if she's sitting on other tapes, or is just approving material for release.

Along the same lines, there were three Grant Green comps, released in 2005 by Blue Note, under the banner The Original Jam Master that are really good, and good for a party atmosphere. Volume 2:

Will have to check that one out. Thanks for the heads-up.

In Person was reissued in 1997 as part of the OJC series. (Information here.) It's a good album!

More information here.

Whitecage is good on this one. I got it from eMusic years ago. I always thought there was a CD release, but I guess not. Vinyl only when I looked around online.

This thread has some good reading. Just noticed this one today: Sound samples here. Looks like one to put on the list. 5 CDs.

Aside from the Fontana Blood, are there any other pre-1970 recordings deserving of reissue? I'm sure there are live tapes out there...

True. Buying compact discs in bulk! Right next to the rice, quinoa, and granola. 🙃

Just saw a BBC documentary (on YouTube) on The Specials and the Coventry Two Tone scene. Pretty good. I didn't know The Selecter were only together for 10 months. (Well, I barely know that band as it is.)

👍 Almost time to celebrate this disc's 25th anniversary. 🙃

Anyone here heard the Helsinki tracks before?

Interesting, especially as Johansson died just as ECM became a label. I admit to not knowing his work.

Good for one's health! 👍 This edition of the album is apparently its first stereo issue—"in association with" Contemporary Records, who released the album in mono. I always forget it's Gerald Wilson on trumpet on this record. 🤭 Original Australian cover. I've often wondered why different markets decide to alter the original cover art (or use different artwork altogether).

👍 Yes, that's the copy I have. Discogs lists this particular U.S. edition as the only compact disc issue of the album. I was wondering if it was ever reissued on the Japanese market. My cursory internet searches tell me no. But maybe someone here has proof otherwise?

Leroy Walks Again Good album for the post-holiday comedown.

Blues In G!!! Did this album ever come out in Japan on compact disc?

I love this album. But did it inadvertently set the mold for all future ECM piano trios?
