I'm curious: Is it in mono?

No, it's not mono. And it doesn't have the treble edge that the box set version has.

I do have a mono version in the Mono Albums box set (mine is the Japanese issue). It too sounds very good. . . but I don't prefer the mono for this title.

I thought hearing it in stereo was a revelation.  I just  wondered what purists thought.

Jimmy Rushing (and Friends) "Every Day" Vanguard cd

It took me a bit of time to get over how "collaged" these Vanguard cds are, but man they sound great and have killer groovy music.

John Lewis - Improvised Meditations & Excursions (Atlantic, 1959)
with either George Duvivier or Percy Heath (b) and Connie Kay (d)

One of John Lewis' best albums, IMO.

Sad to say I´m not a collector, I once purchased some Cedar Walton Trio with Cliff Jordan, and sure heard the later edition with Bob Berg, who was great, but I think I heard he died young. 

The only low point was, when Berg joined the Miles Organisation in the late 80´s and poor Bob Berg didn´t have much to play in those bands. He just stood there for the most time, quite bored because the whole stuff was boring. He must have got much money for it, but sure it was nothing that would have inspired Bob. Gone were the days where great saxists like Liebman and then the young Bill Evans were in the bands.

I caught that Eastern Rebellion group with Berg on several occasions - he was great in that context.

Yes he was a perfect fit. Saw that band, too.
