They have shown up on a number of budget labels under a number of different names. I've heard many of them, have held onto a few, they are pretty routine affairs for the names involved, nothing revelatory or near to the standards of the artists' best or most meaningful work. But nothing wrong with them, either. Hampton actually does play on many of them.

I regret not knowing how to even be part of the secret society that has heard even the sessions that do "get around", such as the Train Wreck, and I guess the Wayne produced by Pearson. 🤔

IIRC, at least some of those Honeydew Elvin albums had exceedingly long drum solos, which made them hard listens for me, even though I'm a big fan of his leader work in general.

60's gems long before Columbia smoothed them out and ruined them.

Yes indeed!

The Barron wouldn't sell enough outside of our board.

Can't think of a reason related to picture/sound quaility, but DVD's can be played in machines blu-ray's, can't, and in some cases, DVD anniversary sets have good extras which did not make it onto later blu-ray anniversary editions (Field of Dreams, It's a Wonderful Life, The Princess Bride being three instances of that. In those cases, I kept both DVD and blue-ray editions).

If I could only own one Henderson album, that would probably be it.

I'm not aware of any which exist!

Complete 1970's Max Roach Quartet with Billy Harper.

Correct! I miss on BFT tracks I own most months!

I'd love to have it if CD.

Mine also.

RIP. Have so much Stax stuff he's on.

RIP, saw him with George Benson decades ago, and have a couple of those Cadet albums.

Re: vibist - It's Bill Lewis, but not his album. Nonetheless, gold star for even knowing those names - I don't! Correct on #5, Abraxas.

+1

Thanks so much for your great insights and amazing ear!

Hipnosis is 38 mins, and High Frequency is 39 mins, so they would fit fine on one CD. That would free up both my McLean Mosaic and my Moncur Select, helping my shelf space and wallet immensely! Probably the same for others here also.

+1 on all points!

Correct!

Not familiar with him, will need to check it out, thanks!

By the way, I notice that @Dan Gould only ranked four of my 11 cuts as offensive, so I guess I'll take that as a moral victory😒.

+1, amazing albums.
