This looks interesting.  Release date February 15:

Unreleased session recorded at RPM Studios in NYC in 1979 featuring 8 compositions by pianist Andy LaVerne. Long thought lost, this recording features top of the line playing from an all-star band: guitarist John Abercrombie, saxophonist Stan Getz on two tracks (Come To Me, Hymn For Her), bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Billy Hart.

I ultimately found this used somewhere. It's good but hardly stunning. But glad to have it as I'm a kinda John Abercrombie completist. Stan Gets appears on two tracks. The story of how it was lost and found in the liner notes is quite fun. Think of all the music out there that got lost and never released. But old stuff is being found al the time 

My favorite in that category is Way Back When by John Surman.
