We'll see... It's a start. Who knows what exactly these are? It is only when someone physically gets her or his filthy mitts on them that we'll get a clear idea if these are quality releases and if maybe more might be expected. The 'Cool Music' label looks rather...strange. Don't know if I'll go first on these as I have them all on Japanese vinyl. I have them on Japanese vinyl or CD already too. But I hope that they're the real deal for others' sake.

Looks like you're doing some house cleaning. Not a bad thing to do, occasionally. The Stitt box is a pretty good one. Someone should grab it.

Jimmy Lyons: Other Afternoons (BYG)

That's an AEC recording that I never picked up. I'm not sure why I didn't. I recall seeing it back in the day.

I'm sure Chuck will clear this up, but the Nessa 13 I have is Lucky Thompson: Body and Soul, licensed from Ensayo.

How was that? Dream line up Friday night was mostly a damp squib for me. Leo played very well, but I could hear little or no effective group interaction. In fact, I almost fell asleep at times. Some (maybe most) of this response or lack of response may have had to do with me, but that's how it felt. Obviously a photo of two good friends.

Cold, but we didn't get the snow that was predicted a few days ago. In fact, none at all.
