Fair enough. I actually DID stream the 3rd 'disk' today. I found about half of it interesting. A number of the tracks kind of seemed like bottom of the barrel outtakes or snippets of songs. But glad I heard them. I do want to hear the mono versions. Not that I'm a great fan of "back to Mono", but the mixes are often very different from the Stereo versions. I have a Doors Mono collection and that's definitely true. Thanks for the input!

I’ll definitely get the Hutcherson and Hill. Quite some are unknown to me but sound interesting: the Amy, Marable and Jackson. Some of the others I’ll have to spin again to make a decision and some I already have.

Reported yesterday in Syd Schwartz's Jazz and Coffee blog.  I'm out for all since I don't do vinyl and they don't do CD's (plus I already own all the titles except the Lawrence Marable and the Petrucciani/Hall/Shorter), but some interesting selections, along with some odd ones.  Note that 'Compulsion' is probably my favorite Andrew Hill album, even though it seems very overlooked: January 2, 2026    Hank Mobley – Hank (Blue Note, 1957),  Tyrone Washington – Natural Essence (Blue Note, 1967)   February 6, 2026   Lee Morgan – City Lights (Blue Note, 1957) Bennie Green – Back On The Scene (Blue Note, 1958)   March 6, 2026 Lawrence Marable – Tenorman (Jazz: West, 1956) Andrew Hill – Compulsion!!!

Don't forget that Carr was a hugely important musician and composer on the British jazz scene, so his lens on Miles is quite interesting, especially as his music evolved along not-dissimilar lines. Not a total acolyte, but there are some obvious parallels for sure. I like the book though it has been a very long time since I read it.
