BTW - why is it "Hi Voltage" on the cover and "High Voltage" on the track title list, the label & in the liner notes?

That might have been a Reid Miles thing - "Hi" might have looked better on the cover.  I think there were some other BNs with slight spelling variations on the cover, perhaps for the same reason.

When I was Young, I had a cool boss in the Office I was working and when he heard that I listen to jazz and Play jazz , he told me that he had heard that Kenton Band in 1953 in Vienna, and he mentioned Lee Konitz and Zoot Sims . So this was the same tour. Such a great band !

The Astral Jazz label was issued by a german born producer Hans Löffler (later John Loeffler after her went to the US). Had for some years a nice correspondance with him.

You boss must have been a fine man knowing that Kenton band.

Lee Konitz Nonet - Live At Laren (Soul Note). Killer band. Red Rodney, John Eckert, Jimmy Knepper, Sam Burtis, Lee Konitz, Ronnie Cuber, Ben Aronov, Ray Drummond & Billy Hart. Great playing all around. I can't help it, but I get a feeling that I'm listening to a Mingus date at times.

My copy has a cut corner and a sticker that says, "Distributed by Polygram Special Imports, 810 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019".

Van Morrison - Moondance (WB). This was reissued in 2008 by WB with mastering/cutting by Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray. It does sound very good. Better than an original? Maybe, but it's not night & day better. It's certainly a quieter pressing than those old WB pressings from those days.

Over the years, I've found three original LPs on Dawn: the Al Cohn, the Modern Art Zoot Sims and a "Critics Choice" anthology of their jazz releases.
