So in addition to Herb Geller's Fire in the West (which seems to be the same as That Geller Feller), I got Two of a Kind, which is a compilation of the EmArcy LPs of Herb and Lorraine Geller. Looks pretty interesting, even though I am not terribly familiar with Geller. Kind of a lesser known figure over here at least (probably a lot better known in Germany).

First trip to Half Price Books in well over a year and a half. Bought Von Freeman's Live at the Dakota(Premonition)brand new.

"Footprints" from that album raises the hair on the back of my neck.

Inspired by the recent BBC Radio 3 Jazz Library programme on Buddy Rich.

What you need Bill is that Mosaic Argo/Verve Buddy Rich box !

What's in it? I already have:

Krupa and Rich

Harry Edison/Buddy Rich Quintet Complete Studio Recordings

Blues Caravan

Swingin'New Big Band

Big Swing Face

Rich in London

Track listing and original issue details here Bill:

Rich Mosaic Box

Still available at Mosaic but now 'running low'.

Thanks for the info, Bob. Quite a lot of overlap there. I think I'll stick with my little collection, perhaps adding a CD or two to it in the future.

Bill, I know what you mean. Quite a bit of the material was reissued over here on vinyl by Verve in the 1970s - especially the stuff with Sonny Criss and Sweets Edison. Philips also reissued 'Big Swing Face' - so I already had lots of this set on the black stuff. Good for the I-Pod though !

Have never owned this before on CD, having bought it on vinyl on its release in 1960 and parted company with it a few years later. At £2.74 including shipping for an as-new copy, can't go wrong! (Channel Islanders, of course!)

Yikes ! Expensive mistake Bill (assume it was the London issue?). That one fetches big bucks these days.
