Any news on this one .... ?

I was going to write the notes for that reissue (with outtakes added) of "One of a Kind" and had begun to do research on Joseph's life (interviewing younger Staten Island colleagues of Joseph and a few survivors from the old days who now are gone  -- e.g. Med Flory, Hal McKusick, or are still with us,  Gene Di Novi --  but I had to back out because of sudden family turmoil, thinking that I would get back in if those things subsided (as they did, thanks be). But in the meantime Sunenblick changed/expanded his plans to a multi-disc set that would include "One of a Kind" plus sessions by figures like trombonist Sonny Truitt and others, and the link between us frayed and faded for that and other reasons -- interacting with Sunenblick could be challenging to say the least.| As a great admirer of Joseph's music, I still feel guilty about the whole damn thing.

What a pity .... thnx for sharing .....

on the other hand, he apparently did some horrible things, from what I have found out; even with our current sense of separating the artist from the deeds, I find it hard to listen to him.

I ordered the LP on discogs after reading Jan Evensmo's solography here:http://www.jazzarcheology.com/don-joseph/
