I bought this one on your recommendation and like it, but I dig all those Essence All Stars albums a bit more.

This is another good one from those Essence All Stars!

This is real good! I've never heard Barbieri play better!

Thank you - I do not always have the time to read all those posts ... Today's playlist so far: Rather underrated, me thinks - I never see it discussed here, but it's very good. This is cuurently in my player evrey day. My favourite Gato Barbieri on the latter!

The albums from the CD era probably have more music than would fit on an LP. Re-editing the masters would cause additional costs, while you simply can pull the master tapes of releases from the LP era. Now is Smulyan a small guy or Cuber a big guy?

Okay. they top 'em all! I remember a Clarke/Boland LP c/w a Mitchell Ruff Duo LP.

The gusys at Fantasy sometimes made strange decisions when combining albums for "twofers".

Same here. They should have made two separate discs with the older and newer material.

Any recording can influence other musicians and the public only after it is available, that is why release dates are important.

Some "mistakes" are intentional. Fantasy spelled the name of Cal Tjader's drummer in the 1950's, Al Torre, "Torres" to make it sound Spanish. They thought this would suit the Latin jazz image better.
