This new Blue Note reissue is a must have for any of you who enjoy jazz piano.

From the website: "This disc contains three complete Blue Note & Pacific Jazz sessions by this outstanding pianist-composer: a 1953 trio session with Percy Heath and Philly Joe Jones, a 1954 quintet date with Frank Foster and Art Blakey and a 1957 quintet date with Harold Land and Frank Butler. Twenty performances in all."

I picked this CD up with the Monk/Coltrane at Carnegie Hall - they're both great, but I've been listening to the Elmo Hope CD a lot more.  Cheers & happy listening.
