By the way, two days ago the legendary 80s group "Dream Syndicate" with Steve Wynn played in Athens - they closed their set with their John Coltrane Stereo Blues with quotes of the 'A Love Supreme'. Very nice.
It is mentioned in this film that Blue Note sent her in 2001 a check of $40,000.-- against royalties.
We can see also Mingus praising her wishing to work with her.
A marvelous 2025 production on Jutta Hipp. Very nice.

After reading your message, I played both the 1991/Schaap CD and the 1997 Verve later issue. The Schaap CD is so compressed lacking dynamics. The 1997 (original mix) one plays far better in my system.
Thank you, such amazing treasures, indeed.
For some reason I listened yesterday to the Gunther Schuller interview around Louis Armstrong. Exceptional. And having Schuller saying that after the end of his evening job at the MET orchestra as horninst in the 40s, he went ahead to the 52 street etc. to see the Bird, Gillespie, Monk et al. ignoring *then* Satchmo who was so hostile to the new music.
This morning before going to work, I played the last SACD from the recent japanese set. I loved it in terms of performance ans sound quality.
Hopefully I will compare soon with the 1995 US set and then let you know of any material differences.
