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.....

This any both companion albums are fabulous ....

Fun stuff. This is supposed to be Curtis Fuller's recording debut but there is some debate as to the actual recording dates.

I wonder if the master tapes exist for this? I have the Japanese CDs and they don't sound that great. They sound better than the Fresh Sounds CDs but only a little. Has anyone heard the latest SHM-CD versions?

This morning lap dog won over laptop and I’m behind chronicling my listening.

I started off the day with disc 2 of the Fay Victor vocal project of Herbie Nichols compositions and it’s an excellent disc.

Followed by Wayne Escoffrey “Hopes and Dreams” cd on Savant Records.

Followed by Eliane Elias “Illusions” on Denon cd

Followed by
Sonny Clark “Dial S for Sonny” Blue Note 85th Anniversary Blue Note UHQCD

And right now
Coleman Hawkins “Good Old Broadway” XRCD.

The liner notes dither a bit about who the second alto is on the first "Hollywood Freeway". Based on tone and attack on a few bottom notes, I respectfully suggest that it might be Dolphy.
