Excellent, haven't benn so far. Also have Porgy coming, another favorite. I truly hope that MoFi continues this program until the entire catalog is covered.
Ah that's cool, it was a hard design/font for me to figure out, glad it looked it up as I was unfamiliar with the pianist.

Hank Mobley (ts) + Kenny Dorham (tp ) + Horace Silver (p) + Doug Watkins (b) + Art Blakey (dr) .... some ferocious power is integral part of this classic live recording .... and another showcase for both trumpeter Kenny Dorham and tenorsax ace Hank Mobley ..... btw did I mention Doug Watkins (!!) ....
(LP Blue Note King Record Japan "Blue Note Collectors' Item Series" GXK-8225) 1981 .... recorded June 23rd, 1957 @ Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack ....

I've heard a couple of Elemental Music Blue Note reissues and they sound quite good. But as I mentioned in my post earlier, I already have the CD and double dipping would only be an option if I find an original or if it gets reissued by Blue Note for the Tone Poet series (I had high hopes they'd do it in the first run, but they did two Turrentines instead ).
Anthony Williams: Spring Anthony Williams: Drums Wayne Shorter: Tenor Sax Sam Rivers: Tenor saxophone, flute Herbie Hancock: Piano Gary Peacock: Bass Call me crazy but I've often seen (and heard) this as the album that the "Second Great Quintet" never made. Check the lineup and consider the time context of this masterwork in just a 12 month period: 7/14/64: Miles In Tokyo w/Rivers, Hancock and Carter 8/21&24/64: Life Time w/Rivers, Hancock and Carter 9/25/64: Miles In Berlin w/Shorter, Hancock and Carter 1/20-22/65: E.S.P. w/Shorter, Hancock and Carter 8/12/65: Spring w/Rivers and Shorter, Hancock Yes, there are additional intresting pieces to this multifaceted puzzle but......enough for now, on to....Echo)))))))))) Dear Mr. Harley, Please TP this! Bright Moments, Ax
Yeah, so many hopefuls for the series (see above) and while I'll never complain (yet) I was a little disappointed in the first year offerings, including doubling up on Mr. T. And some of the artists are not exactly underre[resented in the audiophile reissue world. However, I am extremely excited by a few of the picks, namely: Sam Rivers: Contours Andrew Hill: Black Fire! If we can lean that direction a little more I'd be far more pleased and surprised.
