Cd.

This may have discussed at some point but what is the verdict on this label. Are they similar to the Classics label.

There are several on eBay.

My mistake. I just realized the numbers are on the back cover Helps to be observant.

I received the Johnson box from Jazz Messengers. My first purchase from them and superbly packed. It’s a wonder I received it at all as they got my state of residence wrong (Chester Pennsylvania instead of Chester NJ). One question — and it’s a minor one; the book is unnumbered. Is that the norm.

Grant Green’s Feelin’ the Spirit.

Disc 1. I found out about this great set through this thread.

That list from Edmund Wilson above reminds me of a letter I received in college from my Mother when I had not written in awhile. She sent me a checklist on how I was doing, asked me to check off the applicable box and return it. The point was made
