Fantastic record. One of my fav's. I can't remember if the red vinyl is the same as the Brit import. You know, the American v. British release have a lot of differences in the individual recordings...worth having both!

I know that wasn't directed at me but I'll check it out.

Hawes ranks among my favorite jazz pianists. And so does this guy...

But, it was directed at you, my main man. Cheers. As a ofay teenager, Ahmad Jamal was the first black jazz artist to turn my head around. American Bandstand was a laugh when and where I grew up. It was all R&B for us. Jazz at the time was mostly courtesy of my best friend's older sister's record collection. Tjader, Kenton, Chet Baker, June Christy, Julie London, stuff like that. Once I got a permanent duty assignment in the Air Force- 90 miles from San Francisco- that all changed!

Shelly Manne & His Friends - Bells Are Ringing

Drummer Shelly Manne and then jazz pianist André Previn would team with
bassist Leroy Vinnegar or Red Mitchell to record a series of albums based on
Broadway musicals -- using jazz arrangements. These were all released by
the Conteporary label from the mid to late 1950s, produced by Lester Koenig.
If you're a jazz fan and haven't heard any of these recordings then you really
should, because they are all superbly recorded and the performances are
brilliant.

The Japanese reissues pop up on eBay from time to time, Jim. But what I would give for an original 1954 EmArcy pressing. I've been looking for a long time...haven't seen one for sale yet.
