This one coming soon from Resonance: I’m thrilled to be working with acclaimed archival record producer Zev Feldman and Resonance Records on Jewels in the Treasure Box: The 1953 Chicago Blue Note Jazz Club Recordings from jazz icon and virtuosic pianist Art Tatum. An incredible find, this previously unissued 3-LP collection of recordings was captured live at the Blue Note jazz club in Chicago in March of 1953 with guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart. It will be released via LP on Record Store Day, April 20, 2024 with the 3-CD set and downloads to follow on April 26. Stream Art Tatum’s Just One of Those Things These recordings were transferred from the original tape reels and mastered for LP by engineer Matthew Lutthans (who also worked on Resonance's Grammy-nominated 2019 Nat King Cole release Hittin' the Ramp). Containing nearly 3 hours of never-before-heard Art Tatum captured in an intimate setting at the height of his powers with his longtime trio, the deluxe, limited-edition 180-gram 3-LP gatefold set includes rare photos and memorabilia from Herman Leonard, Bob Parent and the Holzfeind family archives (owners of the Blue Note jazz club in Chicago); plus liner notes from Columbia University professor and author, Brent Hayes Edwards; as well as statements from Ahmad Jamal, Sonny Rollins, Monty Alexander, ELEW, Spike Wilner, Johnny O'Neal, Michael Weiss and Terry Gibbs. Pre-order the CD here: Resonance Records and Bandcamp P.S. We also thought you might be interested in knowing about God is in the House, a new Art Tatum biography from author Mark Lehmstedt. With a wealth of previously unnoticed material, stories of many contemporaries and countless reports in the daily press and jazz journals, Lehmstedt unfolds a fascinating portrait of a unique artist and the pulsating world of jazz of his time. www.wolke-verlag.de

I've happened across a number of these locally at very affordable prices. Does anyone else here have them and of those who do, is there a consensus of opinion with respect to them? TIA...
