I enjoyed it, it arrived in yesterday's mail. I was serviced with most of the Dreyfus Jazz CDs, but this one may have only been issued in France, so I bought a copy. Philip Catherine was a wonderful interview a few years ago and sent me a nice package of CDs I didn't have.

Nice.

George Duvivier + Max Roach provide some serious "power-play" here ....

Excellent. I think this one was not included in the recent Mosaic box.

Disc 2

Well conceived tribute to Tadd Dameron .... and splendid sound via the Elelamtal Music reissue from 2015 ....

[gmonahan]

I recently got this one. Fazola was apparently a very problematic human being, but a marvelous clarinetist. Some nice stuff here.
