The album is "It's About Time", and it smokes! RCA released a CD entitled "Joe Morello" back in 1989 that contains part of the LP, plus about half of a second album that was never released. Morello also released a new CD in 1993 (Going Places, DMP) that's really good - a cooking quartet date with Ralph Lalama (sax), Greg Kogan (piano), Gary Mazzaroppi (bass). Worth looking for! Some of my favorite Morello with Brubeck is the "Brubeck at Carnegie Hall" album.

I saw McDuff's group at Connolly's in Boston back around 1966. The band was McDuff, Joe Dukes, Danny Turner (sax) & Pat Martino. My friends and I were especially impressed with Martino, and wondered who was this white kid playing all this beautiful stuff with this greasy band? At the time, we thought Danny Turner was very lame, having a hard time cutting it, but looking back, I think that maybe he was just having a bad night, because he later turned up with Count Basie & others, and was fine. Joe Dukes was a real showman - at one point he went around the room during a solo, playing off people's tables & chairs. I know, it sounds corny, but the (mostly black) audience dug it, and I will say that this band really rocked! A memorable evening all around!

I know what you mean. The chemistry she had with Jude Law was electric! Oh yeah, there was a newer "Alfie". Never saw it. -_-

I thought she was wonderful in "Alfie".

A test pressing is usually an advance pressing made before the official release of a record. Sometimes they were sent to reviewers or to the writer of the liner notes, or perhaps to those involved in the production. Test pressings of famous records like Beatles albums for example can be very desireable. Or if a test pressing differs in some way from the final album, it can be of value. These seem to be Mosaic catalog numbers. If so they are: 121 - Ike Quebec 113 - Chet Baker 114 - Art Hodes 116 - Bud Powell 117 - Buddy DeFranco These are single discs from multi-album boxed sets. The number after MR indicates how many discs were in the complete set. I don't imagine that by themselves they have any great value, but Mosaic has a rabid following among jazz fans, and these being early titles which are now out of print, it's possible that somebody somewhere might part with a few bucks to obtain them.

Ruppli's Chess discography shows the session with scant details - no personnel, location, or exact date, although the matrix numbers place it in November, 1961. ART FARMER Art Farmer (tp) with ? 11307 The Day After -1 11308 Blue Room 11309 Nobody's Heart 11310 Change Partners 11311 Ponsu 11312 Swing Spring 11313 Kayin' 11314 Tonk -1 11315 Lullaby of the Leaves -1 These titles were scheduled to be issued as a single, which was not released. The whole session was probably rejected (see remakes on masters 11423/11430) My comments: Interestingly, the remake session, which came out as "Perception", was made in October, so the matrix numbers for the unissued session must have been assigned in November, the session having probably been recorded earlier. Perhaps the matrix numbers were assigned when Chess/Argo first received the tapes.
