Thanks, was a fun project to be involved with! 

I have never actually owned the Infinite Sound for some reason.

Yes Clifford, have been a fan of the Verve Elite CD for years so nice to have a decent vinyl copy. Those Verve Polygrams from the early 1970s are not bad at all. Looking at Richard Williams’ sleeve notes it would appear that this also pre-dates the US issue so I guess it must have stayed in the vaults unreleased for a few years until this version came out.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, went back and forth with Chuck about this some years ago -- hard to figure, but Williams seems to be incorrect in the sleeve text, though the US issue went out of print very quickly. In talking with Haden, he recalled Alan showing up to his door with the freshly released LP in the late '60s, cackling about getting something out on Verve titled 'Orgasm.' 

[HutchFan]

Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke (Muse, rec. 1975)
with Barry Harris, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins

An easygoing, almost offhand amble through five Ellington warhorses + one blues.  Bee-you-tee-full.

Fascinating - not aware of that.

Lucky Thompson - Illuminations (Groove Merchant)
with Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes

This is a 2-LP repackaging of music originally released as Goodbye Yesterday (1972) and I Offer You (1973).  It's such expressive and soulful music!  Sadly, these are some of the last recordings Thompson ever made, and that is a cryin' shame because Lucky was a MAGICIAN.

Charles Moffett Family Vol. 1 (LRS)

Elvin Jones - The Main Force (Vanguard). Some nice moments, but this doesn't compare to his Blue Note stuff.

[jeffcrom]

Gary Burton - Duster (RCA). Roy Haynes, yeah.
