Art Blakey's "Holiday for Skins".

[Jazz Groove]

Has this every made it to CD? I have every other Art Blakey's Blue Note sessions but this one. I have never been able to locate "Holiday for Skins".

Yes, in Japan. TOCJs in 1993 and JRVGs in 1999. Both versions seem to still be available.

Jazz Groove,

I spotted both of these used at a shop today. Send me a pm if you would like to try to work out a trade or something.

I got burns of the TOCJs awhile back - I was curious, and the completist in me was operating. To be honest, these are, for me, strictly in the "play once" category. And I'm a big Blakey fan, and I don't mind a lot of drums.

I think the best of those Blakey multi-percussion dates was the one with Lee Morgan, which has some blowing as well as drumming. I forget the title (maybe "Drums Around The Corner"?). I don't reach for it often, though.
