Scott Hamilton - Stardust Live in Tokyo 1993

Any update as to the release of the Scott Hamilton - Stardust Live in Tokyo 1993 CD?

Dusty Groove has it as being delayed while amazon lists CD as currently unavailable.

Anyone know where I can purchase a copy ? Thanks. Bob

Is there any reason to anticipate that this particular live set is any better than the half-dozen or more he's put out in the last 35+ years?

I stopped buying new Scott Hamilton many years ago. I do however notice some recent releases I'd consider as they appear to be intriguing collaborations - one with Dusko Goykovitch and another with Jesper Thilo.

But another live date? Thanks but there's a lot more I'd consider ahead of that.

The man likes it and wants it - nothing wrong with that.

Dan, I would personally put it the other way around. Another studio date I might not be interested in, but a live date would be of interest to me. For instance Scott's new Smalls Live date is one I would like to hear at least, if not add to my collection.

And just taking a glance at the info. available on Stardust Live in Tokyo 1993, I notice it has Gerald Wiggins on piano. Now considering that Scott's best ever CD is arguably Radio City with Wiggins, Dennis Irwin and Connie Kay, I can see how this live date might be of considerable interest to Hamilton aficionados.

I did not know that about this release John. I agree - Wig in the piano chair makes this a substantially more intriguing release.

I've thought about that Live at Smoke recording myself but considering how many of his live dates I have, and that I've seen him twice, I'll still pass.

On the other hand, I am going to make sure that Houston Person's latest is on my Christmas pile, and I have his last 8 or 10 Highnote releases already. Not like there's a lot of variation but what can I say? The heart wants what it wants, just as the OP wants his live Scott Hamilton.

I see that he also has a new one with Rein de Graaff. Anyone heard it?

No, but judging by the track provided in the "Jazz Profiles" article it's well up to standard!

Yes, I agree. That is a very nice track. Thanks for posting.

Funny but it appears this was issued back in 2014 even if DG never had it.  Feeling flush with some birthday cash from Mom I've decided to try to snag this from a US site that has it listed. I'll post if it actually shows but I won't hold my breath between now and then.
