Yes, I dig that one too a lot.

I like that one reissued by Freshsound and also the Bethlehem one mentioned by jazzbo

So am I and I share your view of this material.

Do the individual discs issued under Nocturne Records "Jazz In Hollywood" Series cover everything in the box set? The individual titles were: Virgil Gonsalves Sextet / Steve White Quartet-Quintet Herbie Harper Bud Shank Quintet / Lou Levy Trio Harry Babasin Quintet / Bob Enevoldsen Quintet Steve White Quartet *Edit: It appears there is a CD by Jimmy Rowles that is missing I don't have the answer to this since I don't know what the totality recorded for Nocturne was, but the contents on the set are: Herbie Harper Quintet Bud Shank Quintet, which would be his first session ever Harry Babasin Quintet Bob Enevoldsen Quintet Herbie Harper Quintet/Quartet Virgil Gonsalves Sextet Lou Levy Trio Jimmy Rowles Trio I don't know why I was under the false impression that this was to be a three volume set. But i've read again through the liners and there's no mention of even a second one. But the mention of Vol.1 on this one points to the intention of releasing at least Vol.2, even if it was a 2 cd set. From your notes the only material missing from the only existing volume is the Steve White material.

Yes, great trio.

I like that one, that collects Signifyin and Possum Head. Both on Argo, from the early sixties.

I have these two but haven't listened to them in too long a time. Will give them a new spin soon inspired by this thread.

Yes, that's true. These collaborations are not on a par with his flmaneco work. And the concert per se was not a flamenco affair. But still it was a reunion of some great guitarists, of which only one was a flamenco player.

Me too. But who I find the most unchanged are Sonic Youth and the most unrecognisable, as has been mentioned before, Chrissie Hynde

I saw him once in the late seventies with Al Di Meola and John Mc Laughlin forming a great trio of guitarists. I think they also recorded an album.

Recomendation seconded, plus the album called, I think, Courts the Count.

Yes, I would also highlight that one.

Got mine today. Thanks.

The Freeman/Twardzik Trio album can be heard on said Super Bit Classics TOCJ reissue and on the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Mosaic Select.

Picked up a great condition SH copy of this last year. Lucky find ! Good for you. To me it also wasn't easy sourcing a new copy when I got it.

That guitar's beautiful. It reminds me a bit of that time when neck through guitars and active pickups were first seen at the end of the seventies, beginning of the eighties.

I also thought that they didn't sell well enough. Just my imagination. And about the three volumes which were planned and at least announced I guess I deduced that of the booklet. But it would have been a lot of material. For me a 3 CD-box is enough, but it's a pity for all the material that could have been reissued. And I think this Harry Babasin-Roy Harte run label only operated for about two years: from 54 to 56.

Yes, I don't know what happened to vols.2 and 3. They were planned but never materialized.

An interesting box about a minor and partly unknown West Coast label.

TOCJs and RVGs.
