I have an original - but would be interested to check out against the reissue.

Sounds very good to me, mastered half speed by Miles Showell Abbey Rd. I know there are mixed views over his masterings, no problem here though, dont have an original but the re issue stands on it’s own merit. Nice replica gatefold and Vertigo swirl label.
I posted it here yesterday
Had a tiring day today, now listening to this with a nice glass of Bunnahabhain - now my troubles seem so far away !
Great cast ! -

Sorting and racking my jazz books.
This is a fine volume if you can still find it for a reasonable sum.
Our jazz heroes are asked to answer three questions.
Many intimate ‘snaps’ taken by the Baroness.

Ted Poor. Very, very special if you like drums and percussion in jazz. Track 4 called “To Rome” is extremely deep and 3d soundstage; often used for system auditioning Very recommended

I had this album on vinyl in the “old” days but still sounds as good streaming on Qobuz. A particular highlight is a great version of Weather Report’s Birdland.

Another rummage in the old fashioned jazz on line bins.
Early Warren can sound a little like the third cornet from the Black Dyke Mills brass band but here admirably bossed about by John Bunch.
Warren getting his chops together not often you hear Strutting with some barbecue and All blues on one cd. Let down a little by RVG and his piano or recording of it.
For £1.50 what’s not to like.
All old men need a little romance in their lives (about five mins a month at my age).
Nice accompaniment. Frank Wess. Piano sounds fine. She was a bit of a sad old sausage.

Thanks to you and Richard I purchased a copy.
Unless you want the ‘hip’ titles the older Mosaics are now quite good value.
Another addiction I have to fight.

I enjoyed the Vincent Herring.
From the same stable.
I have long thought Eric a fine pianist and entertainer.
The young saxophone player on this cd is a revelation to me.
I got so fed up with endless Coltrane imitators that I left the subject alone. But we seem to have reached a stage where JC is being pushed gently to one side and more benign influences are coming into play.
My first hour with Eric.
Probably on Q. I didn’t check but on Spot.

Makes a change from my usual adulation of the dead or dying jazz artists.

This one is boogieing away very nicely on the CD555. Saw the guys live back in 2000-001 ish and they put on a great show. Their popularity was well deserved.

I like Ack’s album for Mood Records done in the early 1980s, plus his work with the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble.

I believe this compilation album was released shortly after the untimely death of pianist Esbjorn Svensson but doesn’t seem to be available for streaming on Qobuz.
I have a few of their albums and heard them live a couple of times.
The hauntingly, beautiful Believe, Beleft, Below is a special favourite.
The Very Best Of is a good introduction to their music.
