Hank Jones 'The Talented Touch' (Capitol, mono)

The sounds on the JSP boxes are perfectly adequate to my agings ears. Got the two boxes for the equivalent of two Frog CDs. That made a difference. I have plenty of Frog CDs and love them but just stayed away from their Bessie Smith releases.

Kenny Drew 'This Is New' (Riverside Japan)

Bud Shank 'Live at the Haig' (Choice)

Volume 6 of the Intégrale Louis Armstrong series from Frémeaux includes takes 1 and 2 of 'Wrap Your Trouble in Dreams'.

Stan Getz/Kenny Barron 'People Time' (EmArcy), CDs 4 and 5 A masterpiece! Wish Art Pepper had recorded a similar set with Kenny Barron...

The 'Buy the Book' section states: 'For those who reside elsewhere, the postal charge will change on your screen once the country of destination is entered on the form. As there's no media-mail rate for shipping to other countries, the postal service's cost is considerably higher to the rest of the world.' Wish we could see how 'considerably higher' really is!
