Pretty good - at first I thought the driver was Ben Affleck!

Actually, it's a 12", so the music is a bargain at $100 a minute. At this level of craziness, it's not about sound. There are some rich nut cases out there willing to shell out some very serious coin. I've got the Jasmine, and it's a good quality reissue.

I saw her at Johnny D's in Somerville, MA a couple of months ago. GREAT show!!! She was tops, and had a great band. If she comes to your town, don't miss her! I thought her most recent album was so-so, but live the same tunes killed!

Redman was on Warner Brothers, not RCA (I know, it's hard to tell these big conglomerates apart). Nonesuch (originally a division of Elektra when Elektra was an independent label) is now part of the Warner / Elektra / Atlantic family. Not that it matters much.

I picked up these three CD's when they came out, and was very disappointed that a number of the tracks were mono. All of the original LP's are stereo, so I guess the tapes must have been misplaced at some point. I kept the vinyl, dumped the CD's.

Me too! Big thumbs up for all the records mentioned. The stuff with Russell & Hawkins is desert island material! Another one I like a lot is "Feeling Good" on Columbia, recorded right near the end of Allen's life. The dufus at AMG dumps on this record, but I'm sorry, he's wrong! Red's singing and playing on this are marvelous. Also, for late Red, I'd recommend "Mr. Allen" on Prestige, reissued as "The Henry Allen Memorial Album". To my knowledge, neither of these has been on CD, but they are worth tracking down on vinyl.

The Oliphant was recorded March 1, 1966.

These recordings are by the Don Gardner Trio, recorded in the years before Jimmy was "discovered" by Blue Note. The sessions were recorded for a small New York label named Bruce, who originally released some of the sides on singles. The LP came out in the early 1960's to capitalize on Jimmy's fame. I believe the Pickwick release precedes the Upfront, which dates from the early 70's.

Y'know, I disagree with a lot of people on a lot of the tracks on the blindfold tests, but I'm not losin' any sleep over it. We're all entitled to our opinions, whatever they're worth.

Harris' presence (or lack thereof) ultimately doesn't matter to me. BB plays extremely well on this, unencumbered by the dumb choices that mar so many of his latter day records. I guess I can see why a Harris fan might find this lacking, but ultimately it's BB's date, and the big band is providing a backdrop for him.
