Herb Geller "That Geller Feller"

[Jason Drake]

FYI, for any interested parties, I've just seen that Fresh Sounds are re-issuing Herb Geller's "That Geller Feller". In fact, Dusty Groove already have it in stock.

For those who don't know, Kenny Dorham & Harold Land share the front line and are in peak form throughout.

HIGHLY recommended!

This is a fine album, and I'd give another 's up to it.

I just noticed it on Dusty "Corkers 'R Us!" Groove, too.

I also just noticed that Fresh Sounds are reissuing Pepper Adams play Mingus - weren't Verve going to do this in there latest reissue round ?

Hmm. . . I've had the Adams cd from Fresh Sounds (or is it Cool and Blue? same difference) for years. Killer session.

So is the Geller. Good that it's becoming more available.

Whoa!

Is that Pepper Adams album as great as the lineup indicates? Looks like a can't-miss.

The Adams & Geller are great.

The Adams I'd like to see available is the one that was on Pacific Jazz (or maybe it was called Jazz West Coast) with Lee Katzman + a killer rhythm section. I think it was called Critics' Choice.
