You got it. Although just checking the USPS a short time ago the shipment is now here in town. I should have ownership by later this afternoon.

I have a package that has been sitting in Jersey City for the last 6 days without moving. It was shipped from Liberty, New York. For the uninitiated Liberty is located in Sullivan County in the Catskills. Mind you I am obviously not blaming the vendor for this situation. But one time I ordered from him and before arriving up here in Maine it made its way to Memphis, Tennessee then Oxford, Mississippi before it ended up here. I guess this is an improvement. Sarcasm intended.

I'm listening to Lift Every Voice right now on Spotify. The vocals to me aren't too overwhelming considering there is still plenty of room left for Woody Shaw, Carlos Garnett and Andrew to solo. Maybe not everyone's bag, but I can listen to this. I suppose one could compare this to the Eddie Gale release Ghetto Music.

I thought I had most/all of Zoot's early releases, until I came across this one. Thanks Dusty Groove!

That's a damn shame.

Actually, a nice session. I've been trying to get this release for quite some time at an affordable price. Picked this up from Dusty Groove. Now listening Japanese issue.

I went through the entire thread and was surprised nobody mentioned the Xanadu label. I realize Zev Feldman owns the rights. When Elemental Music reissued a bunch of titles some years back, I contacted him inquiring if there would be any future releases. His answer was no. I'd love to see some of those titles which never made it on cd reissued. Sam Noto? Maybe something comparable to the Beehive set? Just wishing.
