Unfortunately I can't see the the record you`re rerefering too - could you pls specify in writing ? And your damn right about his playing with the Crusaders, which for me raised them another level.....

Yes the Buster Williams-Al Foster rhythm tandem fits perfectly....although not really being a big fan of the Venus productions overall, this one is excellent

Thnx....but - which one with Woody Shaw you dig most ?

Mike, thnx for your speedy feedback - yes the two Jimmy Rowles Choice outings are superb....have to confess that I do not now any of the three Hancock Mwandishi recordings though.....

After listening recently to following records I was more more than ever amazed by Buster Williams and his playing - of course, as he was a frequent contributor to recording sessions, I should have a number of these in my collection - nevertheless I would be interested, which recordings - from other boardmember`s perspective - show his abilities to best effect.....

I`ve recently asked for this issue vie the LF thread....... Here we have the additional 5 tracks listed : http://www.discogs.com/Al-Haig-Trio-Invitation/release/1712336 A helpfull boardmember linked me to the Amazon.jp site, where one copy is on offer (for 220 USD + postage !!!) - as the info is written in japanese, not sure about the cd`s condition (could be "very good"), but (again in japanese) contentwise 13 tracks are listed...... As mentioned i would LOVE to hear these tracks (in whichever form...), but the forementioned offer on Amazon.jp was conditionwise too risky to me... Hopefully another boardmemner can spread a little bit light (or more...) on that....
