>One of the best known record dates in the history of modern jazz,

>Davis - Volume 1
>Davis's 1952 sextet date with J.J. Johnson and a very young Jackie
>McLean introduced "Dear Old Stockholm", "Donna" and the

>Pearson, Bob Cranshaw and Al Harewood. Alternate versions of "Jean

>Hill's rich, rhythmic piano and utterly unique compositions stand
>alone. Point Of Departure is Hill's masterpiece with rich

>Hubbard came into his own as a composer with this album with great
>originals that range from the complex, ferocious swinger
>"Hub-Tones" to his poignant "Lament For Booker," written for the

>experimentation, working with Jackie McLean, Eric Dolphy, Andrew

Thanks for the info, Chris.

I'm on Mosaic's mailing list but I was totally oblivious to this deal.

Yeah, yet another time I'll be buying replacement copies of cd's.
*laugh* I'm always a sucker for "remastered" or "24-bit", now that
I have a nice system to appreciate the improved fidelity.

P.S. Charles Mingus Ah Um is amazing on SACD! Too bad SACD and
DVD-A are probably dying, thanks to all the attention on HD video
disc formats and the current war between competing designs. Stupid ...
Then again, hardly surprising, given that people think 128K mp3
files are "cd quality".
