Kenny Burrell questions

[Jazz Groove]

2 BN sessions

Kenny Burrell Vol 3. Is this part of the Introducing Kenny Burrell 2 CD that is available.

Freedom, is this available anywhere?

Thanks.

I believe it was only out, briefly, in Japan some years ago. Definitely a tough one to find.

EDIT:

Just noticed your "Volume 3" question. The cuts on Volume 3 are on various US released albums, including the Introducing two-fer, and I think the Five Spot recordings. Nothing special 'bout it, which is why I'm glad I got it for like $8 and sold it for a wee bit more!

I can echo about Volume 3 about being hard to find. It also has fetched a handsome price on Ebay when it shows up there.

FREEDOM was released only in Japan, and only on LP (as far as I know) circa early 1980's.

I recently landed a copy of Vol. 3 on eBay for about 10 bucks - maybe no-one else noticed it. It's a hodge-podge that cries out for one to make custom burns to untangle all the tracks on the three TOCJ CDs.

The selections on this Vol. 3 are not all on the U.S. 2 CD Conn set. It has tracks from the Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Blue Lights and Five Spot sessions. It was assembled by Michael Cuscuna, and he should have included all the 2/10/57 tracks with Hank Mobley that are in the Conn set - there is plenty of unused space on this CD. As a result of this omission, if you have the three TOCJ CDs, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3, there are still three tracks in the Conn set that you don't have. The non TOCJ tracks are: Nica's Dream, Out For Blood, and K.B. Blues (alt.).

So it's a rather unsatisfying situation.

Thanks for the info.
