Looks like a Dreamband, as if it would have been formed for my pleasure ! I see Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard, but never have heared about that record. who are the else ? 

It is the McCoy Tyner Trio from 1986 (Avery Sharpe on bass, Louis Hayes on drums); there is one trio track; one quartet track with Joe Henderson added; one quartet track with Freddie Hubbard added; and finally, the closing track with both Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson.

Freddie Hubbard in good shape ....

Yes, it's the awesome Freddie Hubbard I remember from concerts during the 1980s.

Recorded @ Five Spot on July 16th, 1961 .... a proverbial "dream band" at work ....

I'm listening to my original 2 LP copy which is in miraculous shape. . . always surprises me. 

And after playing around for a week with my vinyl playback system and new EQ device I'm delighted to find out how awesome this sounds today!

Miles Davis "Bitches Brew"

Davies really was a magician when it came to remastering

I loved John R.T., nicest guy ever - and he was able to transfer music in the best possible way - and the key, other than his expertise, was the sources he had. He and Brian Rust were able to  acquire test pressings and metal masters from sometimes mysterious sources (meaning someone spirited them out of certain places), clean sources in mint shape. The tragedy of American music is the loss of masters, from Victor, Okeh, Columbia - though some still exist, clueless engineers have no idea how to handle them (and also, note, that Davies, by the time of the above transfers, was using CEDAR digital noise reduction; he was no Luddite).

And the losses of the Deccas too. A real tragedy.

I just finished listening to this CD and discovered "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me," present as track 18, is omitted from the track list and liner notes. Presumably recorded in November 1943 featuring Thelma Carpenter, according to my few minutes of online research.

Love that album - Leon Patillo is great on it.  Saw that edition of the group at the Atlantic City Raceway in 1974, and they blew CSNY and Jesse Colin Young off the stage.  Incidentally, tickets were $10.  What would they go for now for that type of show?

Hep put out such great stuff.  And a Thelma Carpenter track, what a find! Alastair must have corrected it in a later run... I just checked my copy and it's listed.  Going to revisit later this evening, so thanks much for posting it.

Is there a date listed for it? I was thinking it sounded like Thelma Carpenter but I wasn’t sure.

Is Lester really on these cuts?

[Ken Dryden]

Lester Young is on some, but not all of them. The liner notes mention that he and Jo Jones were tracked down by the FBI to be drafted two days after one 1944 session.

I must have it. I wanted to have it for a long time but have listened only to the track "Fire Waltz" since it is one of the tunes we do on concerts. If the rest is so good.....

It´s only the time, I must admit I haven´t had time to listen to a record since the end of february, with the exception of one record made by one of my fellow musicians. 

If I buy albums, it´s usually from my fellow musicians here in Austria. Times have changed a bit.
