In Person was reissued in 1997 as part of the OJC series. (Information here.) It's a good album!

More information here.

Whitecage is good on this one. I got it from eMusic years ago. I always thought there was a CD release, but I guess not. Vinyl only when I looked around online.

This thread has some good reading. Just noticed this one today: Sound samples here. Looks like one to put on the list. 5 CDs.

Aside from the Fontana Blood, are there any other pre-1970 recordings deserving of reissue? I'm sure there are live tapes out there...

True. Buying compact discs in bulk! Right next to the rice, quinoa, and granola. 🙃

Just saw a BBC documentary (on YouTube) on The Specials and the Coventry Two Tone scene. Pretty good. I didn't know The Selecter were only together for 10 months. (Well, I barely know that band as it is.)

👍 Almost time to celebrate this disc's 25th anniversary. 🙃

Anyone here heard the Helsinki tracks before?

Interesting, especially as Johansson died just as ECM became a label. I admit to not knowing his work.

Good for one's health! 👍 This edition of the album is apparently its first stereo issue—"in association with" Contemporary Records, who released the album in mono. I always forget it's Gerald Wilson on trumpet on this record. 🤭 Original Australian cover. I've often wondered why different markets decide to alter the original cover art (or use different artwork altogether).

👍 Yes, that's the copy I have. Discogs lists this particular U.S. edition as the only compact disc issue of the album. I was wondering if it was ever reissued on the Japanese market. My cursory internet searches tell me no. But maybe someone here has proof otherwise?

Leroy Walks Again Good album for the post-holiday comedown.

Blues In G!!! Did this album ever come out in Japan on compact disc?

I love this album. But did it inadvertently set the mold for all future ECM piano trios?

Listen to the whole album here. I think this is the first time the Helsinki concert is receiving a digital issue. The whole disc sounds great.

Recorded live at The Trident, Sausalito, California.

It's not good for one's health to go too long without listening to a Ben Webster record.

I was listening to that album when I made my post above. 👍 That one would be close for me, but it feels like I'm not remembering another title...

If you could only take one Gene Ammons album to your desert island, what would it be?

Whoa—24 cities. I wonder if/how many tapes exist.
