Agreed. Recorded the following day.

No, I dont own an original. On it’s own merit I think it sounds fine, I doubt anyone would be disappointed with SQ or pressing
We’re you aware of this one,Dave.
Just a year before the old boy left us.
Almost brings tears to my eyes. But little sparks are still there.
An elusive character that struggled with life.
Dave Gelly’s book Being Prez is worth a search.
N. Checked it is on Q.

That’s a new one to me. Prez on clarinet brings back memories of his Kansas City Five recordings and another great lineup including Hank Jones on piano.
Now streaming on the conservatory system with a glass of the red stuff to hand.

Somewhat tired from last nights double Vaxers,over eighties,all night disco and karaoke I will spend the day on the settee with Ms Holliday.
A big box of jewels nicely polished up by the reprocessing. They sound good.
Just pop into the streamer and pick five tracks.Many were just demos to try and sell the sheet music.
Billie already often sounds tired and careworn.If you were offered a solo …you had half a chorus,but a big band discipline they were used to.

(Coming out of) Locked Down Jazz Appreciation - Album of the Week
12: Stan Getz And João Gilberto: Getz/Gilberto (Verve)
Though originally from Pennsylvania, tenor sax titan Stan Getz became associated with
the cool, West Coast jazz sound in the 50s. In the following decade, he helped to
stimulate interest in Brazilian music with his 1962 album Jazz Samba. Two years later, his
inspired collaboration with rising Brazilian singer and guitarist João Gilberto (on
Getz/Gilberto) helped to birth a bossa nova craze in the US. The combination of Getz’s
silky saxophone effusions with Gilberto’s delicate vocals and softly-strummed guitar was
magical, while the album’s most popular track, ‘The Girl From Ipanema’, featured a
stunning cameo from Gilberto’s wife, Astrud. An edited version became a hit single and
created a huge global audience for the seductive bossa nova sound. It also helped to
transform Astrud Gilberto into a star who then launched her own successful career.
Key song: ‘The Girl From Ipanema’
Enjoy
