Good news. Regrettably Paolo Piangiarelli never spent this gem a new edition so it´s been long OOP. Can´t recommend this enough. Long, mellow, beautiful playing - Chet´s big strength, with trio in small club - an unsung late highlight of CB discography.

Those Tentet and All Stars recordings are excellent stuff. Glad they are available again in a decent new edititon on a single CD.
