LZ plagiarized. Everybody plagiarized. That's rock. That's life.

Another great musician has gone. So sad! RIP Mr. Tyner.

The sides with JPJ are incredible, specially that "Sweet Mistreater"... and what about "Empty Bed Blues" with Charlie Green on trombone?

I remember the good old times in Paris, picking here and there in second hand disc stores.... I just checked: I own only 45 out of the ca. 210 cds. For the missing gaps, sometimes I went the Classics way (only master takes), some others I decided to go for different packages/different labels with higher sound quality standards. Finally, there were others where I tried to get a copy of the MoJ cd but simply was not able to find it for a decent price.

Indeed it was a French label; the project was directed by Christian Bonnet, with Philippe Baudoin as music consultant.

Cootie Williams & Rex Stewart - The Big Challenge (Jazztone, 1957) Plenty of different reissues/repressings with different covers, starting with the Urania release ('Jazz At Stereoville'): Then we have: My copy is on Fresh Sound Records label, with the original cover.
