Anyone seen this set on cd?Seems very hard to find.Any help in locating one would be appreciated.

Thanks

That one is tough to find. I never saw one in a store and finally got one used. It's companion Hawkins disc is hard to find as well.

The Hawkins Live at the Village Gate disc was one of the first (and perhaps the first, now that I think about it) CDs that I purchased

I got a euro version of this in HMV here in UK quite recently, it's Spanish but legit afaik ( not as nasty looking as the Spanish Blue Notes). There were loads of copies knocking around 6 months ago or so. Liners are fairly limited but sound is perfect

i own the hawkins date, but have never owned the hawkins/eldridge/hodges sides.

i recall it being around dometically for some time. does it live up to its potential?

the sonics on the hawkins are warm and clear - one of the better live club records that verve did, IMHO...

i dunno. i've a number of verves whose roster doesn't deliver what you think they'd be capable of. case in point: getz + baker. another: getz + the peterson trio.

come to think of it, stan getz is the common denominator here.

when's the last time roy eldrdge and johnny hodges let me down...

I think the Getz/Peterson session is wonderful (and I'm no Peterson fan). One of my favorite Getz dates.

The Hawk/Roy/Rabbit session is very good but not as good as the Hawk material from the earlier evening - but the cd does include bonus tracks with Hawk and rhythm from that gig.

interesting. perhaps you enjoy what is taking me some time to get my ears around; that it's a somewhat atypical date for them both...

that being said, it's going on as soon as i get home.

cheers,

The cd in the Amazon link seems to be a diffferent one than the cd in question. However 3 of the cuts from it are on the iTunes download though Eldridge and Hodges do not play on them. What's the song list on the

Hawkins! Eldridge!.... cd. It's not given on AMG.

The Verve CD that I have (reissued in 1992) has Satin Doll, Perdido, the Rabbit in Jazz, Mack the Knife, It's the Talk of the Town, Bean and the Boys, and Caravan. The last four tracks are said to be previously unissued and feature only Hawkins.
