worth it (eclectic electronics) ... i am amazed about it every time. I would rate it somewere between 7.7 and 7.9 conservatively.

Lp version on white pearl lightly splattered vinyl. Cd has some bonustracks on it.

Man, this is hitting the spot!   

I think Vol. 2 is even better than Vol. 1.  ... And I think Vol. 1 is really, really good!

It's always FUN to rediscover stuff that's already in your collection.

Cannonball's saxophone pairs well with Nelson's swaggering arrangements.  It's great hearing Louis Hayes drive a big band on 4 tracks as well.

"Tony Fruscella" Japan Warner SH-CD 

Over the years this one has really grown on me, and when I saw a used SHM-CD I grabbed it and I really like the sound. Tony was unique.
