I love Mark Helias' band Open Loose, but I'm not familiar with that LP, optatio.   Looks very interesting.  What do you think of it?

Dewey Redman was the reason to buy the LP. But Mark Helias' debut as a leader is convincing. See Robert Palmer, paragraph 7 https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/17/arts/top-bassists-are-the-bottom-line-in-jazz-ensembles.html. But there is no reissue on CD http://www.enjajazz.de/artist.htm#h

Indeed. Saw him live after the ENJA CD Attack The Future was released, and he was as great a bass player as anybody from his generation.

[clifford_thornton]

Saw him do a solo concert recently in upstate New York, the day after Gary Peacock died -- tremendous!!!

Nice to finally get to hear this one. OK pressing, benefited nicely from an RCM spin.

Roy Eldridge - Richie Kamuca Quintet - Comin' Home Baby (Pumpkin Productions) - Recorded live at the Half Note August 22, 1965 & March 25, 1966 but remained unissued until 1978.

Eldridge - trumpet

Kamuca - tenor

Dick Katz - piano

Tommy Potter - bass*

Eddie Locke - drums

* Potter replaced by Don Moore on the 2 tracks recorded on March 25, 1966.

This is an interesting date that I bought much more Kamuca's presence than Eldridge's. It almost seems like they alternate songs for who's featured. The pianist-turned-producer plays a decent piano, if a little out of tune in places. The earlier stuff is in better sound. I wonder if there is more somewhere? I'd really like to hear it. What I have here is very good.

BTW, I've been looking for this for some time....

Nothing new here that isn’t on the 4CD set. Nice, crisp sound though - as good as I have heard this material. Funky red vinyl. Having said that, one of the disks has a slight chip, poor QC.

Well recorded double album with one side to each pianist. All solo piano. Marian McPartland is the producer. Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson sides are  superb. There are perhaps too many medleys, if that bothers you. Definitely a feast of fine solo piano.
