Wikipedia is a bit weird about it.

I love Sonny, but this doesn't live up to its promise, IMHO, YMMV, etc.  So, proceed with caution.

Thanks. From the bizarre Wikipedia page it looks.... divisive.

Hopefully, the Westbrook Derams will get a quality vinyl reissue in the Decca ‘Explosion’ series.

Cover photo taken at Bovington Tank Museum?

47w63rd DG Mono, lovely big and precise sound. Incredible for an LP that is well over 60 years old !

Yes maybe, but I suspect not more than one of them so that other artists can be covered. I'm not sure how many releases will emerge but I don't see it being so many as to allow multiple titles from artists. I hope I'm wrong.  Thankfully my copy is mint so I don't feel the need to upgrade.

I remember trips to that museum

You know concord Brubeck in Moscow ?? Turns out there’s a 2 lp Russian only version with tons of tracks not on the 1 lp concord.  Found lp 1 which is Same side 1 as US counterpart then a completely different side two feat an extended prince will come

Terrific double lp set of various artists playing bebop icons, e.g., Sadik Hakim plays Bird, Al Haig plays Dizzy, Barry Harris plays Monk, etc.

Rab, I suppose I'm with Dana.  It's interesting -- but it's not something that I play very often.

Paraphrasing a famous german film director: Life is in stereo, but mono is more realistic.

Why is it only Jimmy Rowles that has legs? How will the other pianists operate the pedals?

Do they even have hands?

I have seen that cover often but I must admit it seemed I missed that when it was out. Was that in the late 70´s. I think I missed it than, since I didn´t buy albums with different musicians (I had a sampler-phobia) but this is not really a sampler. Okay, it must be nice. I´d be curious how Sadik Hakim sounds playing "Bird", since on the sides he plays with Bird he sounds very "stiff". 

I made the same mistake when I was looking for some Ornette Coleman that I didn´t have, and O.C. records were quite rare, and the dealer showed me a Charlie Haden album "The golden Number", and I didn´t buy it, because O.C. was only on part of it......now I´m sorry I didn´t buy it.
