'The Quintessence' is a great album, Yves. Great soloists of the calibre of Freddie Hubard and Phil Woods. I'm disappointed with the UK black label reissue pressing though (one I've had for years), sound level is low. Worth going for an original.

The Oliver Nelson is very nice too and sounds superb in the red/black pressing.

TTK, is that Astrud Now album any good? I have seen a reference or two to it on the internet, but I don't recall ever seeing it in the stores.

Yes. It's a bit more Brazilian than some of her later Verve albums, which were generally more pop. Deodato does arrangements and Airto plays percussion. Some songs are in Portuguese, some English. Parts of it have that introspective, early 70s sunlight-filtered-through-the-trees vibe.

Ran Blake - Plays Solo Piano - (ESP red label orig, sadly no booklet)

Good music for writing a paper... especially if I were to write it like Paul Haines!

Edit to say: I remembered the version of "Stratusphunk" being weird, but not THIS weird!

Was there ever a booklet with this? I had my mono original from Bernard Stollman after it came out. No booklet inside :(
