I always forget I have this album...because it's shelved in a different spot. The JVC XRCD edition—which sounds absolutely amazing—is too big to fit with other CDs. But it's the music that counts! And the music delivers. Not a trio album (per this thread), but excellent nonetheless. Highly recommended, and I'm sure many posters here own it already.
I've been on this King Pleasure obsession for the past year, largely because the mystery that surrounds him, anyways, I found this little mention of him on Downbeat for august 27, 1952 that mentions he was on a television program called the Ralph Cooper Program with Blossom Dearie. I would love to see it, but I doubt its possible.
Also, I've always wanted to see photos of him performing on stage, there is one of him on his stage throne from 1954 and one from a 1972 reissue King Pleasure - The Source, but the image was altered. It would be nice to see the original.
Thanks, if you can find it.
