Yes! Though it's variable album-to-album, the version of Satin Doll on disc 2 is the only one (other that the original Duke version) that I can comfortably listen to...

Now that you mention it, Randy Weston.

both Tollivers

Sam Rivers

 

The Sam Rivers Rivbea set has turned up on Apple Music (broken into three pieces).  It may have been there for a long time, but I only stumbled across it recently when searching up Rivbea.

The Tolliver hasn't as far as I can tell (at least not in Canada).

(At) least get Aurora (2006), if you haven't already.  (...) It's every bit as good as the Select.

I bought Aurora on your recommendation. What an amazing record, thanks!

They sound like if Arnold Schoenberg had led a big band, with James Brown's rhythm section.

 Love it !

From my perspective, the Andrew Hill BN set is the most important but I have received the most pleasure from the Carmell Jones set.

I could only be bothered to buy five. Of them, I like the ones by Curtis Amy, Bennie Green and John Patton best. The Bechet and Matthews not so much.

The Moncur, Pepper, Boogie Woogie, Pacific Jazz piano trios and the Brookmeyer.
