Finally got a copy of the Japanese CD reissue for a decent price. I wanted to hear this for more than 30 years! A very good album, very underrated, a bit like a modernized version of Jackie and Roy. Both Mackay and Vicky Hamilton (who died from leukemia a year after this was recorded) turn in some good vocals.

But I had to drive in from Wisconsin.

Went to dinner one time with Dan, Ira, Red, Dexter and Roy.

I slept on these Lloyd ECM records for too long. This is a strong album with Mehldau & Abercrombie playing well and a phenomenal Larry Grenadier on bass.

How is this one? Music & entire package worthwhile? 

The performances, audio and packaging are all excellent. One thing is odd is having several ballads back to back, I wonder if they were played that way or someone decided to resequence the set list, omitting some songs?

Is that vinyl or download only? Can't seem to find a CD version.

Went to dinner at the Singapore on Rush St. (great ribs) with Barry Harris and Eddie Jefferson, waited there a good while for Dan, Harriet, and Ira Gitler to arrive; they were delayed by a gas main explosion. Not as illustrious as Chuck's lineup, but IIRC the conversation was freewheeling and choice.

Ah, it's good to relax.
