This album contains 2 interesting groups with Bill Potts on piano playing his own compositions with the leader Freddie Merkle (dr) a) a 5 piece band b) a 11 piece band (3 saxes, 5 brass & 3 rhythm) featuring former Woody Herman bandmember Earl Swope (tb) & his brother Rob. RCA Victor NL-45957 [FSR 1984] - The Freddiy Merkle Group " Jazz Under The Dome" - rec 1957

Yes like that "boppish" early Shearing Have at leat 3 of those shown album covers. Hackett is always good on these moody discs. Sometimes also Toots Mondello.

MelosMusik GS 702 - Siegfried Schwan " Guitaristics" - rec. 2000 - Engineer: Gert Markert German guitarist and composer. Born August 5, 1940 in Ludwigshafen, mostly known as Sigi Schwab. Active in jazz and classical music, he also published several books about guitar playing styles.

Just in from Japan the CD version (with 5 bonus tracks) 2 different takes of "Hand Jive" 6:49 / 8:13) 2 alternate take of "Madness" (6:42) 1 alternate take of "Pinocchio" (5:07)

Have those 2 on vinyl for quite some time. The Getz recording is also issued with a different cover

Indeed a superbe performance by Bola Sete. Like that LP very much.

Best track for me is " Rustic Hop" on that LP

Have just posted this one at SHF. Great LP.

CD Vol. I and II? Great group
