Lock this douche bag in a single bed cell with Big Willie and throw away the key

Claude's two albums from 1995 are excellent. "Hallucinations" on V.S.O.P and "Live at the Jazz Bakery" on Fresh Sound. I have them both on CD, not sure if they're available on vinyl.
His playing never strayed too far from the Bud Powell influence, but he has his own style that's readily identifiable.

Condolences to Beaver and Wally

Thank you so much for posting this! I've always wondered just how Hank sounded near the end of his tragic life. My understanding is that he was living on the streets of Philadelphia during these final months, broke and homeless.
It's so ironic (and sad) that the dawn of the CD era, which resurrected Hank's reputation, and which might have brought him some remuneration in the form of royalties, was just starting to occur when he passed away. He died never knowing that a whole new generation of jazz fans would (re)discover his playing through the digital medium. Hank never got the acclaim he deserved during his lifetime and he probably passed away feeling that he was for the most part a forgotten man.

Curiously short list to vote upon. My choice would be Art Pepper.

CD's only. I swore off the surface noise and inner groove distortion of lp's after 1987 and MP3 is an aural abomination.

I have the Charly CD re-issue of the Strata-East album "Two is One" by Charlie Rouse. The CD booklet advertises Charly CD re-issues of Strata-East albums by Gil Scott Heron (Winter in America), Pharoah Sanders (Izipho Zam), Larry Ridley (Sum of the Parts), Clifford Jordan (Glass Bead Games), as well as several Stanley Cowell and Charles Tolliver CD's, all under the heading of "The best of Strata-East Jazz". The Charly CD's were released in the late 90's and can still be found in the usual places (Amazon, Half.com, ect).

It was fifteen years ago today that Captain Trips left us behind. I know many of us will be forever grateful for what he brought to our lives.
A wonderful testament to Jerry's broad appeal is that the San Francisco Giants are commemorating Jerry with a 'Jerry Garcia Tribute Night' tonight at the ballpark, complete with Jerry Garcia bobbleheads, stealie hats and t-shirts, a pre-game performance by the GD cover band 'Cryptical', and with the pre-game national anthem to be sung by Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.
Long live Jerry's music!

I, for one, am thrilled that a classic and irreplaceable recording such as this is being restored to it's original glory. This is jazz history, and well worth restoring and preserving. I certainly intend to purchase a copy if/when it becomes available as an XRCD.
Coincidentally, the last time I listened to this great recording the warbly piano made me think it would benefit greatly by use of the Plangent Process. The Grateful Dead have been using it for years to remove wow/flutter from their live concert tapes for release on CD.

Looking back through this thread, I'm surprised the following recordings have not been mentioned:
As a leader:
Mirror Mirror
1980 session with Chick Corea, Ron Carter and Billy Higgins (on Verve)
As a sideman:
Idle Moments
1963 Grant Green session with Bobby Hutcherson, Duke Pearson, Bob Cranshaw, Al Harewood (Blue Note)
Solid
1964 Grant Green session with McCoy Tyner, James Spaulding, Bob Cranshaw, Elvin Jones (Blue Note)
Re-Entry
Live 1965/66 Horace Silver recordings with either Carmell Jones or Woody Shaw (32 Records)
Stick-Up
1966 Bobby Hutcherson session with McCoy Tyner, Herbie Lewis, Billy Higgins (Blue Note)
All highly recommended!
Anyone else use an electronic piece of crap?
