A new John Coltrane album will be released September 27 that includes a session recorded for a film in 1964. So far the only place to order I see is for the SHM-CD version at CDJapan.co.jp Blue World de John Coltrane, l’autre lost album ! – Jazz Magazine
In A Silent Way - Miles Davis (Columbia) CD with Dave Holland (bass), Tony Williams (drums), Chick Corea | Herbie Hancock (electric piano), Joe Zawinul (electric piano / organ), John McLaughlin (guitar), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Miles Davis (trumpet) Outstanding band, outstanding album.

MILES DAVIS SEXTET / SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME / COLUMBIA / 1961 / FIRST US MONO PRESSING CL 1656 LP
I was searching for two or three years for an affordable original LP - to no avail. The same day I decided to look for the Mosaic Select box set, I found the LP in a store. Fantastic album, except for the vocal part, but maybe that's just me.

The bonus track, a 9:05 minute long alternate take of 'Lanyon' was previously issued on a Columbia LP 'Almost Forgotten - Various Artists - Instrumentalists'
Saw Kamasi Washington and Herbie Hancock last night. Kamasi’s band is absolutely top notch. Go see them if they tour your city.
