Just got this myself a couple of months ago. A great compilation. That song with Jimmy Witherspoon is a real winner.

If Universal ever gets around to it, this would probably end up in Volume 4 of the John Coltrane Impulse Albums boxed sets. Would like to see this set soon!

If you have that attitude you'll be fine most anywhere! Well maybe excepting Hull: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/3158560.stm

Hey Jostber I love that youtube clip and the album looks right up my street (is it as good as the clip?). Maybe brazilian though? Bola Sete is as good as it gets on this kind of music. For some of his other best music check this: http://www.amazon.com/Shambhala-Moon-Bola-Sete/dp/B0000641AR/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1266792418&sr=1-11

Hadn't heard of him before. Here he is with Dizzy Gillespie and Arturo Sanduval. Strong stuff!

Pretty cool looking girl:

Bad stuff. Hope it can be delayed in some way. Anyway this is a woman that demands respect, and deserves it.

From Wikipedia: Her middle name, Folasade, means honour confers your crown.
