Really? You just made my day Clifford! That’s great news. I was seriously considering saving up money to buy an original in the end. Are you able to give a little more details or not (when?, label?) 😇

I can't really give details but as far as I know all the basic work is done and it is awaiting manufacture. It's done with the cooperation of Tyler's (rather confusing) estate.

Stan Getz - Focus (Verve). I somehow managed to pick up a nice deep groove original along the way. This is my favorite "with strings" Jazz LP.

Now playing:

Craft reissue.

Get by the ridiculous cheesecake cover and you'll discover some excellent music.  Harold Land's playing is especially fine.

I have the OJC CD and the 1996 LP released by Analogue Productions, which sounds pretty great, so I have no need to pick up this new one.

I agree that the music is very nice. I don't agree on getting by the cheesecake cover. I always got a chuckle from it.

I’d say Herbie would have been happy his music was interpreted this way.

I saw Hill with his big band at Birdland and I had him sign this LP for me.

It's hard to photograph something in a frame covered with glass.

Thats great Kevin. Big fan of Andrew Hill. Truly a one of a kind wonder. Judgement was the last record I needed to obtain to complete my Blue Note Hill collection
