george wein is alive and well in mexico!?

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

mosaics reissuing it (cd): why have i never seen this before, i cant believe they did that cover- check out the orig, its on columbia no less, i would of noticed this one if i had come across it, i cant believe ive never seen it in the bins (and if i did, yes, id hold out til i found the white label promo):

Got the Select. Some inspired playing from the horns, Wein himself is tasty, which surprised me (should it have?), but I did find Don Lamond a bit over-bearing on some tracks, this perhaps due as much to miking as to Lamond. Cuscuna's suplementary note apologizes for the cover but says that it's Mosaic's policy on single disc Selects to reproduce the original cover. Extra unissued tracks on the Mosaic BTW. Definitely worthwhile if you like Pee Wee, Ruby, or Bud.

I've never run across that one on LP either.

I picked this one up not knowing what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Recommended, for anyone curious !
