Moderator - can you fix this mess?

"So Nice" from above CD ... this Blue Note disc is a compilation of 2x10" records from '53 (trio) and '54 (quintet with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee), PLUS 3 additional tracks recorded by Pacific Jazz in LA 1957, with Harold Land, Stu Williamson, Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Butler. "So Nice" comes from this group of 3 tracks, all of which are superb and feature fine compositions and arrangements (Elmo's) and swinging, imaginative solos of the highest order. Elmo has it all together, Land was at a peak at this time, and this may be the best Williamson on record ... plus Leroy and Frank Butler! Pity they didn't record more ...
