Is this the one you mean:

Modern Sounds From The West (Best From The West Vols 1 & 2) on Lonehill?

Leonard Feather presents early West Coast jazz from 1954-55 performed by three small groups. The first finds Conte with Charlie Mariano, Marty Paich, John Graas, Monty Budwig and Stan Levey, the second with Conte, Buddy Collette, Jimmy Giuffre, Gerald Wiggins, Howard Roberts, Curtis Counce & Stan Levey, and the third with Sweets Edison on trumpet instead of Conte, joined by Herb Geller, Bob Enevoldsen, Lorraine Geller, Joe Mondragon & Larry Bunker-- all featuring Shorty Rogers' writing. This was Blue Note's only West Coast session.

Added to the CD is a 1956 session with Conte in New York backed by Hank Jones, Milt Hinton, Barry Galbraith & Osie Johnson.

It's wonderful music for fans of West Coast jazz. The sound is OK overall, but one track is marred by some odd sounds. Otherwise, about what you'd expect from this type of label.

Yes, I know about Lonehill-- but I've given up on EMI ever bringing this out. Of course, tomorrow they'll probably announce an RVG of this!

My friend has the original. I offered him $100 for it. No beans. He is a lurker on this board and he's looking for other original Conte.
