Hello ghost of miles !  I like that kind of stories, where you listen to a CD and it reminds you of some certain events in the past.  I also have this CD maybe also from about 1993, but I never know what edition, and anyway would never buy another edition of a certain album I already know, even if it has alternate tracks.... But this one I like, though I must admit I bought it only because of the others, whom I knew, but didn´t know who Tina Brooks was.  I think he was even more obscure here in Europe than in his home country.  I don´t really know his story but it seems that his recording career was very short, and once I read somewhere that Alfred Lion though he liked Brook´s music, didn´t like him as a person.    About memories by listening now: In your case it is walking into that store the first time.  In my case : I spinned it in my car in the small hours on the highway, that first tune did fit so well to that hour and that lonesome drivin thru the night....... I had to switch for many many years between Austria and România, let´s say from the time I was working here but had my wife down there, so driving the whole night 1000 km when there was no highway thru Hungary or Romania, that was cool, heard a lotta music in the car then. Often almost the only car in the night, at least in those years.  Definitly one of the great great records of the 60´s, from that period I love so much.  I had the great occasion to hear Jackie McLean, Herbie Lewis, Billy Higgins with Bobby Hutcherson instead of Walter Davis, but since Bobby Hutcherson is on the twin album "One Step Beyond", it was almost a Jackie McLean Blue Note Quartet, what I heard, one of the best concerts I ever heard.... I never had heard Giorgio Gaslini but had heard that he was great playing very similar to Monk´s style...

Just searched on my DVR for upcoming showings if anything with “Eddie Hen” — but no dice (here in DC).  Hope I didn’t miss it!
