Very pleased with the sound on this Strut CD reissue - the sound on the second CD alternate mix is more than passable !

I forgot that this is very largely all unreleased so you can't go and hunt down the individual albums, probably good for the bank balance

With the Tenors of Our Time by The Roy Hargrove Quintet (Verve, 1994)

This album has aged a hell of a lot better than most major label jazz records of its time.

Just finished this absolute beast:

Jaki Byard Quartet - Live! Vol. 1

I finally got a CD copy of this, and it' so good. Just the piano. Oh, and on my way to find the cover I stumbled upon a row of very sexy ladies. Apparently there's also a firm of lingerie called Westward Bound.

Continuing the Picasso theme, sheer big band artistry. Beautiful arranging, notable solos by Jack Sheldon and, of course, the incomparable Mel Lewis.
