Thank you all very much. I bought this through Verve on iTunes but couldn't find any discographical info (even searched the web so Mike wouldn't jump on me )

Your due diligence is appreciated and rewarded!

Brad,

If you would like a copy of the liner notes, send me your snail mail and i will be happy to pop them out to you. I only have a B&W front cover, but will be glad to send that also.

Bill,

PM sent.

A question about this record. On various cuts, it sounds like there's a harpsichord (or maybe the pianist is getting the piano to play like that) but it sounds unusual.

That's Paul Smith (listed as Irving Garner on the original LP) playing harpsichord.

The only other harpsichord I've heard jazz wise is Artie Shaw's Grammercy Five Sessions. There it sounded ok. Here, I would have preferred piano.

You'll have to download iTunes I believe, unless you have it. . . . That's something I've never done because my iMac and my iBook both come equipted with iTunes.

This is a nice little album. I found a vinyl copy a few years back, and thoroughly enjoyed it when I had a working turntable. Cool to know that it's available in digital format, I'll have to investigate.

Too bad Verve isn't doing more with the great DeFranco that's available in their vaults. He's really underrepresented by in print albums.

PS... does anybody know how proprietary the iTunes store stuff is? I really haven't used it before, but I'm wondering if I'd be able to burn a copy onto CD and then play that CD in any normal stereo?

I've downloaded a few Verve albums from iTunes and have had no problem making a cd-r and playing it on several different cd players. I use a G-5 iMac (had no problem importing the recent UK copy-controlled version of the RVG Basra, either ).

[jazzbo]

Yes, iTunes is very compatible; been burning cdrs and playing them everywhere.
