fantastic, a classic.

Discs 3 & 4, the tracks with Jesse Drakes, Gildo Mahones, Connie Kay and Gene Ramey or John Ore.  I found this set for $20.  I kind of wish I had waited and bought the legit import for $32.  My copy is smoky and one of the essays is pretty negative about Young's later playing, so the (bare-bones?) import may have been better.

It's different sounding. I like the sound on both. I love the packaging of these mini-LPs and have begun collecting those I didn't have when I see them priced well, especially the "Japanese RVGs."

Cool, thanks for the response. If I had the space.......!

I understand that. I don't have the space either. I'm downsizing slowly, and in the case of these discs it's a program of attrition, I sell another version I have of these when I get the new version. Sigh. It's not easy, it is getting easier.

The 2018 debut album of a seemingly wonderful quartet playing a program of 21st Century compositions by living American composers (all born between 1977 - 1991), all commissioned for the group and developed in personal collaborations between the composers and the band. It lives!

Caroline Shaw's work (a reductive fantasy - my term, not hers - on Beethoven Op.18 No. 6) is short, but intriguing, as has been most of her work which I have heard. Add her to my list of living people to pay attention to!

Here's the band playing the piece live:
