New arrivals:

Scott (Hutch Fan): Based on one at-home listen, a very strong recording by this lineup of the Yamashita Trio. Definitely worth a listen...as with some other things (e.g. '70s live Rahsaan or '80s live Ra) one might ask "Do I need more of this stuff?", but I'm happy to have it. Liner notes all Japanese so I don't know details, but despite the cover image it was recorded in a studio.

This is very good and definitely recommended unless you're allergic to electric piano.

It looks similar to a Blue Note record from that formation, which I like very much. 

But I was quite astonished it was recorded for BN, since it seemed untypical to me to have a BN record recorded in Germany. 

Is this another album ?

Superb concert .... a shame this was not released officially ....

The personnel reads of something extraordinary. I don´t know how many times I have played Fire Waltz, fantastic composition.

Performances from the same group @ Village Vanguard in September 1986 saw release on two Soul Note platters .... again outstanding music, but "Fire Waltz" was not included .... btw I would rate the Lugano concert at least as good ....

Great record, particularly side 2. Marable’s intro on ‘the boy next door’ is sublime. Giuffre working through his Rollins phase I think.

Yes, I love the band (Jimmy Rowles and Red Mitchell) wish they'd recorded more.

Nice liners by Loren Schoenberg on this one, but no personnel list, which is irritating. Sound is good.
