Oh, I imagined something like this (more early nineties) when I saw Sub Pop as the label somewhere, but then I thought "no, maybe that's somebody else".
I've had it wrapped for 10 or 15 years, but the other day I opened it. And it's very good. With Gerald Wiggnis on organ and Herb Ellis on guitar. Greasy blues!
But I bought it from Bear Familiy , but now I see it's an Be! jazz release and Micha Gottschalk is credited as the producer of the box. And I was sure it was from Bear Family... Thanks for pointing that out.
This applies exactly to the Jutta Hipp box, which is marvelous. It has a very heavy coffeetable book with text in German and English, that's very, very good. With memries from Hipp and wartime stories. And even some of her drawings and paintings.
I love to hear Hall behind Brookmeyer or the other way round (even with Brookmeyer on piano). And The street swingers is the pick in the lot included here. At least to me.
Thank you. I know you looked for the LP, but thought the CD might give some insightful information. Yesterday looking for it I came across a CD I recently looked up on Amazon with the intention of buying it up. Timeless Billy Eckstine on Savoy, which I "discovered" listening to Fats Navarro from the same series. I have wanted to know more about Eckstine for some time and didn't remember I had it still factory sealed from a long time ago.
I have the reissue you mention, but due to a home move five months ago I can't find it. I know exactly where it was in the old house, but it's not in the corresponding place in the new flat. I'll let you know as soon as I find it. Maybe it's still not unpacked.
