Japanese marketing! 'Barefoot' sells better?

Implausible, Pedro Iturralde died today! I don't know the current price, for example this is an ongoing offer https://www.vinyltom.com/product_info.php/iturralde-pedro-quartet-featuring-hampton-hawes-p-11784. I've owned the LP for a long time. PS. These price differences are strange though https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=listed%2Cdesc&limit=25&master_id=794925&ev=mb

Yes, in memory of him ...

halloween holdover ...

- but his name is 'Buck'

Same here! Another LP on my shelf:

R.I.P.

Alun Morgan in: Modern Jazz. The Essential Records. London 1978, p. 4f.

Shirley Horn: I Love you, Paris. Verve 523 485 -2 [1994]

...

Same here! I started collecting LPs intensively in the seventies, due to lack of money before - exams in 1966!

Dewey Redman was the reason to buy the LP. But Mark Helias' debut as a leader is convincing. See Robert Palmer, paragraph 7 https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/17/arts/top-bassists-are-the-bottom-line-in-jazz-ensembles.html. But there is no reissue on CD http://www.enjajazz.de/artist.htm#h

The Gentleman of Elvas Gentleman Jack Lady Gaga

Mark Helias: Split Image. Enja 4086 [1985]
