Thanks for taking the time and patience to look those up.  I have most of them by the way.

Which would you recommend? I've left Murray behind a bit but find the idea of a solo set quite intriguing. I see that Conceptual Saxophone is a Cadillac release which might make it more readily available here

[JohnS]

There's one other, on HORO from the same concerts as Organic and Conceptual. One I don't have.

They've not been played for a while but I'd say that the Cadillac is as good as any.
