In fact the photo COMPLETE with the ceiling (even a wee bit more) is in the "Celebrating Bird" book by Gary Giddins, and cropped versions (showing only part of the ceiling) are in "Black Beauty White Heat" and Ken Vail's "Bird's Diary" (and certainly in others). So the photo in the "Taking Off" booklet seems to be the rarer one which is not seen often. Quote

Seems like that latter one has not been served that well by easily acessible reissues. Apart from that, the above reissue probably is the one Lazaro Vega saw mentioned. But again - "For the Ears" and Coleman Hawkins is a confusing combination because this refers to two separate sessions. As you say, no 1955 trio session. Included are 4 tracks from a 1956 trio session: "Best By Test", etc. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Looks like that's the one I was referring to ("Best by Test" is one of the tracks, though the complete session actually includes six tracks). Could Jepsen and Bruyninckx both have been wrong about the recording date? They give a date of 16 Feb. 1955. Quote

The tracks on this album from a session simply dated as 1956 are Best By Test, Love for Sale, Stompin' at the Savoy and Hey There. As there are inaccuracies in the numbering of the tracks on the album, the session date is probably also incorrect. Quote

Missing are "Sonny Howard's Blues" (maybe a bit too R&B-ish for the compilers?) and "Mr. Sandman" (a bit too pop-ish? But still very nice and a surprise in this setting ...) Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 i got this one a long time ago, and i dont know if it still hold true but i thought it at the time to be one of the rarer columbia lps, in fact i dont think ive seen it more than once or twice since, but i dont think its actually like money-rare Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 With Percy France! RIP to Sir Charles. 98 is a good long life Quote
