I have the double LP, haven't listened to it for a long time, just pulled it off my shelves the other day, and read the notes - haven't listened to it yet. It was on Palo Alto, I believe. It was the brain-child of Dr. Herb Wong who was co-producer and more responsible for the recording than Helen Keane.

Likewise. Many Happy returns, Dan.

Ditto, and thanks for the site. Glad it's back. Couldn't believe how much I missed it when it was down. Even had to visit the AAJ forum for a fix.

From the Mobley Mosaic Disc 5, track 1 "Don't Get Too Hip" Sonny Clark's solo is just about the "hippest" piano solo I've ever heard!

Absolutely great idea!!! for a Beehive box!

I must take all this back. Checked the Uptown website today. Completely updated with the Pearson CD apparently available right now. I ordered one. http://www.uptownrecords.net/home/

Discs 4,5,6

Amazon.com lists release date as Sept. 17; Amazon.ca says Nov. 19; cduniverse says Nov. 19. Strange discrepancy. And the Uptown website is no help at all. They don't even have the Lester Young Boston 1950 CD posted there yet!

These are several I like.

What is your involvement? BTW, this one looks like a must-have!

I was at this one - Massey Hall, Toronto, 2001 (Wish I had been at a particular concert recorded there in 1953!)

And the Herman Herd rode in a fancy sight-seeing bus! (But the lead trumpet player was apparently tired after a long bus ride).

I'd forgotten how good this one is!

Argo's are done for the season if Ray is gone.
