http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/pro...9225&itm=53 I am definitely all over this date when released. The clips sound great, and some unusual stop choices for Jimmy, wonder if thats one reason it was a rejected session?

Kenny Burrell on guitar? Sounds like him. Had no idea this was coming out. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Chuck Nessa]

Quentin Warren.

Really? That first track sounds like Kenny to me. Interesting.

Blue Note Disco lists this as an unissued session. My question is what makes thi s so pricey $14.04 on CD Universe ???

Sounds Great!!!! Can't wait. Love how he's doing a lot of that Erroll Garner-style as he did on Plays Fats Waller. I doubt this was put out at the time just because his recorded output was so high and this session doesn't have the commercial focus of a Plays Fats or a Midnight Special. Just more genius playing from the genius.

the other June Conns are up as well. cool!

Soulstream, what's that weird stop setting on "Minor Fare"? is it like the 5th or 6th drawbar pulled out some? I was messing around with a local player's XK-8 who knows I love organ on a break at their gig a few weeks, hes an organ fan as well so I figured out some classic stops (he had asked me to email him with drawbar registrations), but none of the weird ones like on "Houseparty", "Trio+LD" and so on. BTW, What's with the 85 suffix in all these catalog numbers for the new Conns? the 85 numbers were used for the post Town Hall concert albums when the label was reactivated. Yet, the new Kenny Burrell and Ron Carter albums due this June have 79 series numbers.
