EC's comping for Hawk sounded so spontaneous AND matched to what Hawk was playing, that you felt like they did a vulcan mind-meld! They even got another pianist to comp for EC when he played only vibes.Many thanks for the reminder sgcim. I have both those old Crown LPs and as fine as they are haven't listened to them much over the years because the sound was so bad (and on top of that my copies also were in nasty shape). Just ordered the CD and now I'll really get to hear this music.Which CD did you order, the Fresh Sound with both Crown albums or the Ace (UK) disc (or was it Boplicity)?The Fresh Sound, he said guiltily.I wonder which source(s) they used.

JETman Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Fresh Sound put those sessions out previously on two separate cd's. The source is more than likely Pujol's personal LP collection. Quote
