    Discogs lists a few at varying prices. But I found a used copy in good condition from an Amazon seller for twenty bucks. 🙂 Thanks. I remember hearing Sun Treader on the radio during my later school days.

    Is that a portrait of Ruggles used for the cover? Very nice. Who panted that? I should look for this release.

    Spinning this once more. I really like this compilation, made with love and understanding, and good sound. Quite a few alternate takes used. Vocalists were an important part of Ellingtonia and are not really done justice, me thinks.

    Buy any recording of La Venexiana with confidence.

    Thank you. All guests enjoyed it. And there will be a second round in three weeks as our apartment is not that big.

    Great way to spend a relaxed sunday afternoon after the party for my wife's 70th birthday. Lester's version of I Can't Get Started is the kind of music that I want to listen to and die peacefully when the time comes.

    When played on top level equipment Pierre Sprey's recordings sound as if the players are in your room. Just like the best Contemporary albums.

    I found the later Claude Williamson piano trios to be very inspired.
