king ubu Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 This should be one hell of a nice set! No news to me, but still: Quote
EKE BBB Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 AFAIK, it will include six previously unissued alternates and one selection that was never issued in any form. Only studio dates. Only big band dates, except for a bunch of sextet sides. And Chris Albertson is writing the liner notes for this set! Quote
jazzbo Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Posted January 10, 2005 Guess I was snoozing! Good news. . . hope Addey does the remastering. Quote
