2007 Connoisseur CD Excellent album. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Tone Poet version and his new album which is due out in September.

The Coltrane set is really good. Not sure why Impulse didn't release the show in the early 70s. Sound quality isn't stellar as the original tapes were lost and is taken from producer Ed Michel's reference tapes.

Johnathan Blake - Passage. Great album.

2009 Omnivore Recordings CD

US RVG CD

I agree. Jacknife is the worst new cover in the Tone Poet series by far. Also, it’s the first TP I’ve had with issues. Loud pops in multiple spots. I need to reach out to BN customer service. One of my favourite sessions though.

Several Conns were re-issued as US RVG's including Jimmy Smith - Softly as a Summer Breeze Johnny Griffing - The Congregation Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye Don Cherry - Symphony For Improvisers Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore - Blowing In From Chicago Kenny Dorham - Whistle Stop Andrew Hill - Judgement Both Baby Face Willette albums Horace Silver - Further Explorations Lee Morgan - Leeway Grant Green - Green Street A couple of Ike Quebec albums Probably several others as well

Sun Ra Celestial Love - original LP but my copy has a yellow label

Original LP. One of my favourites.

This set and the previously released Select are desert island discs for me. Do wish they had expanded the big box to include Now, Head-On, Natural Illusions, etc. Different settings but all good.

Original LP. Plays on the low side.
