To my surprise, no I don't think either has been mentioned.  since I have the Elvis on an otherwise non-Xmas all blues compilation, it gets played year-round. Thanks.

Surprised I couldn't find any existing threads about this festival. Some interesting shows this year, not the least of which is: STRATA-EAST RISING - A Landmark concert w/ Charles Tolliver, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart, Billy Harper, Christian McBride, aja monet, Endea Owens, Steve Jordan, Keyon Harrold, Camille Thurman +more TBA. Seems like a can't-miss, once-in-a-lifetime chance to see all these great musicians together. I'll be there.

Wow - I recently found a set of these stickers I collected when I was a kid. Don't know if they're valuable or not.

Strong first outing by the Special Edition  ....

I heard Tommy Flanagan once, he had the same bassist, the great George Mraz and on drums was no one less than Art Taylor !!!  I have seen that record you have or maybe even I have it someone, but I have not listend to piano trio records for very very long time .  I think I remember I had bought it because a musician I played with mentioned the  tune "Denzil´s Best" which is on this record, that´s why maybe I purchased.  Those where the days where you didn´t have the possibility to hear stuff on youtube or print sheet music.  I spent quite some money for LPs I would never again listen to, which I bought only to learn "one tune" !!!!! I love that album, it seems to have been recorded the same time when Hubbard together with Lee Morgan made those fantastic live sessions "Night of the Cookers".....   The strange thing: I have it as an japanese CD, but it was somehow remastered. I´ m not an audiophile since my hearing is not good and I wouldn´t even care if I´d hear better again, but it´s only the music itself that counts for me.  But I have to mention, than my copy, like a copy of Dizzy Reece "Sounding Off" has such a strange bass sound. Very powerful, but it sounds much more like an electric bass or even more a synthy bass.......
