Thanks guys, I wonder if they are actually in stock, CD Universe has been out since April! I may go ahead and order, I thought I would check with our members first!!!

Just a note — the Koch reissue sounds just as good as the 20-bit French RCA reissue. (I have both.) The only difference is that the French reissue uses the original cover art. The Koch cover art is slightly modified. The French reissue also makes sure to use the band's full name ("George Russell's Smalltet") on the spine of the disc.

This is a truly great album. An easy 5 stars in my book, and a session that seems to always get overlooked in favor of more conventional "5 stars" albums.

Without this recording, I don't think we'd have Kind of Blue as we know it today.

Mark, if you can't find it, send me a PM, and we'll work something out. Everyone here should have a copy, in some form or another, of this disc!

Late,

Thanks for the info! I'll take a stab at one of them on-line but will let you know if they fall through!

Thanks again,

This is one of George Russell's great albums and should be in every serious jazz collection.

I think I have about everything else he has done except this one; I don't know what I was thinking !
