Far from it! I got it at my local record shop.

Nice one ! One to watch out for then, on Amazon.

I think it's a nice collector's item. Disc 4 contains previously unissued material only.

  • Four tracks recorded at The Tonight Show with Steve Allen on Nov 11, 1955
  • Two tracks rec. at The Blue Note, Philadelphia, PA on Dec 8, 1956
  • Four tracks rec. at CafĂ© Bohemia, NYC on May 17, 1958
  • Five transcriptions on the enhanced portion of the disc

The box comes with a 40 pages booklet including some great photographs of all members of the quintet.

Got a couple of funky LPS from Bertshop today.

and

Charles Earland - Trip (no image on web)

This is, I think, material recorded for the Giant Step label, some of which appeared on the LP "Introducing George Freeman with Charlie Earland sitting in" - but I haven't been able to compare the two LPs track by track. The condition is not bad - a bit of a scratch on side 2, otherwise fine - but the sound is fuckin' awful. Nothing to do with the previous owners, or the masters (the Freeman sounds fine) - it's Trip's fault. Still... HOT MUSIC!

Pre-ordered this:

Matana Robers -- "The Chicago Project"

Roberts on alto and I think some clarinet too, with bassist Josh Abrams, guitarist Jeff Parker and drummer Frank Rosaly. Sound samples were very good. Prompted to get this one while listening earlier to Roberts' "Sticks and Stones."

yesterday, but I ordered the Hutch and Tyner Selects, and all 4 SF Jazz Collective sets, I really liked what I heard on the Nonesuch compilation of the 2004 season

The recent SF Jazz Collective is excellent, particularly the second disc of original material.

Damn - gone again. Just like the Cheshire Cat, this one. :rlol

Yeah - that one went fast...again. A few days ago, I requested an email be sent to me when it came back in stock. I figured this record was long gone...didn't expect that they would actually get anymore copies. Then I got their email...and took action immediately! ^_^ Timing is everything, I s'pose...

They do have new copies of 'Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group' on CD as of today, if you're looking for that one...

(just giving a first listen to a record you once recommend btw Woody Shaw's In my own sweet way... sounds like it will become one of my favorite shaw records)

Cool! I'm glad you like it. That was one I kind of stumbled into and got it because it was so cheap at the time. I was really taken with it from the start and it's not one I see pop up in conversations about his recordings. I'd highly recommend it to anyone liking Shaw or that vein of playing. :tup:tup
