Oh yes. I hoped to see more Jackie in the upcoming Classics series. I think Demons Dance was unofficially announced as a Tone Poet. That one also deserves a good vinyl reissue.

‘Demon’s Dance’ needs a really good vinyl reissue. Near the top of my list.

Another great Jackie twofer from the Reissue Series now on deck.

Yeah, someone should be sued for not having reissuing Demon's Dance.

It’s recommended - fine big band recording directed by Neil Ardley and with strong Gil Evans influence. See my comments on the other thread concerning sound - likely better than the original LP (which was in mono).

No probs. I’m enthused over this one, better than I expected !

The (excellent) CD is long OOP so this is really the only option to pick up this title.

 Some of Satch's last truly great playing on trumpet, IMHO.

I don't think so. It says "recorded at Victoria Theatre, London" and I saw them at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road, London.

Clearly they were in London for a day or two - enough for Monk to make those Black Lion albums.
