1. I'll have to pick that up soon.

Interesting story behind it -- apparently, it was discovered by accident earlier this year, then remastered.

I was surprised (and happy) that it was ranked in Amazon's top 5 sellers.

2. That's what I heard when I had read the album synopsis...

Sounds fantastic really...

3. One of the advantages of jazz is cheap vinyl.

The last time I was in NYC, I stopped by a Brooklyn coffee shop/record store and picked up ten LPs (Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Jimmy Smith, Charlie Parker, Modern Jazz Quartet, Sonny Rollins and others) for less than $40.

I do have more jazz CDs than LPs, though.
