I have that one too. Great date. One of our U.K. members (mjazzg perhaps?) also has a copy. With c-t's, probably the only four copies to be found on the Organissimo forums.

Yes, it's me and I'm forever grateful to you for posting it and recommending it. Great album. I'm holding out as perhaps the only European copy :)

Mine picked up many years ago when prices were only semi-daft. It is in very good nick, amazingly.

Yeah, some BN are like wines, if you bought a case of Chateau Lafite Rotschild before the first WW you were lucky, like the caterer that traded Van Gogh paintings for lunches.

Anyway it's part of the fun :)

A copy arrived at the Chicago Tribune when I was there; I put it on because I knew of Francis from Ellis' "New Ideas," loved it, and wrote an enthusiastic review. Afterwards I got in touch with Francis by phone, and we had a very pleasant conversation.

:tup A reminder for me to listen to that one.

I hadn't listened for awhile because: A) I had in my mind that this was a lesser version of the Unit, and B) it's an hour and a half long. Well, it's not the "tightest" of the Units in terms of developing Taylor's material, but it's perhaps the most varied in terms of strategies for dealing with that material - there is more variety of texture and tone color than on most Taylor albums. And this is some of the best Leroy Jenkins I've heard - he's really on fire here.

And recorded on Paul Secor's birthday, 1987.

This spin makes me regret my decision back in 1988 - I had the choice of buying Live in Bologna from the same tour on either double LP or edited CD. I chose wrongly, and now have the CD.

Too bad that wasn't my birth date. I only wish that I were 31 - but knowing what I know now. :D

Two vocal LPs:

Rosemary Clooney - Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie (RCA mono). I recently found a cheap, near-mint copy of this and spun it for the first time tonight. It could have been a great album. Rosie is in good voice, the songs are mostly well-chosen, and there are jazz solos by Pete Candoli, Bud Shank, etc. - and there are uncredited vibraphone obligatos that sound like Eddie Costa to me. But the arrangements are kind of corny and novelty-ish. It could have been a contender....

Jeanne Lee/Ran Blake - The Newest Sound Around (RCA stereo). The Real Deal.
