Curtis Fuller LP .... anyone have this one? Comments?

[slide_advantage_redoux]

There are a lot of Curtis sides floating around,. It seems that the same ones appear, and I have those anyway.

This is a new one for me. Never saw it nor heard it.

Is anyone here familiar with this date? Is it noteworthy, worthy of having? Available on CD?

[Jim R]

It's a very nice session, imo, from 1961. Band included: Les Spann, Walter Bishop Jr., Buddy Catlett, Jimmy Garrison, and Stu Martin.

I'll Be Around

Dream

Mixed Emotions

Playpen

It was released on a 2LP-on-1CD issue on the Collectables label in 2001. The other title was "South American Cookin'".

By the way, before I got the CD, I had a reissue LP copy, which I'm guessing came out in the 90's. I couldn't tell if this ebay copy is original or a reissue...

edit:

ah, now I see it's a reissue.

Still have the Japanese vinyl replica LP (from 1976) I purchased at Dobell's during a visit to London.

A very worthy album!

I have a Japanese Epic cd and I'm giving it a spin now. It's not my first choice of Fuller's recordings but a very pleasant listen.

This appears to be the Scorpio reissue from the 90's. This is is fine session, and you shouldn't have to pay much more than the starting bid.
