No, I dont.  Just read about it and listened to it on You Tube. I hear they are pricey though. 

Actually, I have *never* seen one for sale at any price, but I really appreciated your post because I had no idea anyone had put it on Youtube. So I very much appreciated the opportunity at last to hear it!

Could you share, whether your own assessment of these Freeman sessions changed over the years ....

Von astounds me at every listen. As far as my involvement, I did what I could do at the time(s).

Paul Barnes and his Polo Players (American Music). Paul "Polo" Barnes recorded some excellent work with King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and Oscar Celestin's Tuxedo Orchestra in the 1920s. This is a 1960 quartet session (originally recorded for the Icon label), expanded to a quintet on a few selections by the addition of the brilliant Captain John Handy on alto sax. (Not the same John Handy who recorded with Mingus.) This won't be to everyone's taste - Polo's clarinet sound is plain, a little reedy, and unlike anyone else's, except for maybe his brother Emile's. The music is simple, but not primitive. Like much New Orleans music, it's unselfconscious, melodic, and pop/dance music as much as it is jazz. I find it lovely.

Roger Beaujolais Italian Trio; Barba Lunga. Stay Tuned

A new one from the UK vibraphonist.  One of UK's premier players but vastly under appreciated.
