For those interested, the Manhattan Moods LP is on YouTube:

..... and the music was recorded for Capitol! Kind of a double miss.

All the best, and enjoy the music - great way to spend a birthday.

More pieces by Johann Ernst Bach from these CDs:

Perfect in every respect, great sound and a grat choice of keyboard. https://www.discogs.com/release/36725575-Claudia-Mende-Gerd-Amelung-Johann-Ernst-Bach-Sechs-Sonaten-Für-Das-Clavier-Und-Eine-Violine

This afternoon: Irwin Mayfield is very, very hot here.

Thanks a lot! Afaik another unreleased live recording is in preparation on Steeplechase.

expanded CD reissue

What makes this record even greater than just the excellent performances by all involved is the way the tunes are arranged: every piece has a different solo order. There is an additional track issued on a later French CD reissue, btw. - "But Not For Me" played by only guitar with brush accompaniment. https://www.discogs.com/release/6406399-Kenny-Clarke-Meets-The-Detroit-Jazzmen-Kenny-Clarke-Meets-The-Detroit-Jazzmen

A bit early for April fools day ...... but intriguing idea.
