Thanks for the information guys - and yeah I realize it is not a very relevant question, but for obsessive compulsives such as myself these things provide peace of mind. Ethan

A trivial question which I am not sure anyone will be able to answer - the RVG of Adam's Apple lists the date of the session that produced the title track as the 2nd of February, whereas jazzdisco.org lists the date as February 3rd. While I would tend to go with the date on the CD, I know there has been at least one other mistake on the RVGs. Does anybody know when the track Adam's Apple was recorded? Thanks Ethan

The McLean certainly sounds intriguing. And that's an interesting take on the Green - on the older RVG threads it seemed to be generating perhaps the most excitement out of any of the announced releases for this year, but I suppose that is more a reflection of its scarcity than its quality. Thanks for the advice guys. Ethan

Hello all I've been listening to jazz heavily for about a year now, and have been reading these boards for awhile. I've benefited greatly from the staggering collective knowledge here. I am planning on ordering three of the new RVGs, was hoping for some input. I am almost certainly going with the Green (because I'm a fan and others seem excited about it) and the Pearson (mostly because of Henderson, but I also have not heard Spaulding before and really appreciate Pearson's contribution to Idle Moments). For whatever reason, the Hubbard is more expensive to preorder, and I was thinking of getting Open Sesame instead anyway, so the third choice is basically between Free Form and Right Now. I'm leaning towards the Byrd because the only representation of him I have is on No Room for Squares, whereas I already have McLean as a sideman on a couple of records and am currently awaiting the arrival of A Fickle Sonance. The AMG only gives Free Form three starts, but the review itself is quite favorable. The McLean got 4 and a half stars, and sounds like it is a bit freer, which might be good to variegate my collection. Anyway, if anybody wanted to discuss the merits of the sessions or offer suggestions, I would be much appreciative.
