I purchased the cd after years of searching, because my 2lp set had some pops an scratches...I was screwed. The tunes I wanted were knocked off to conserve cd space, and one tune was substituted that wasn't even on the lp. SHAME ON YOU ATLANTIC!

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Major Label Rip Off!, May 5, 2004

I purchased this CD because I thought it was the same as the cassette of the same name I purchased in the '80s. Inflation aside, I paid 4x as much for the CD, and got 4 less songs. This is the kind of shameless repackaging that makes it hard to sympathize with the major labels when they complain about revenues lost to P2P. I don't for a second believe the artists got any more money for this truncated, more expensive CD. The album itself (what there is of it) is worth buying, even at this price. I wouldn't be buying it again if it were not a wonderful selection from some of Atlantic's best jazz artists, with a nice blend of tempos and moods. I'd gladly pump the rating to 4.5 stars if the songs that were omitted were restored (real likely, right?)

I never had the opportunity to own the LP or the tape. I got the CD from BMG in the early 90's. I have loved every piece since then, I'll probably keep playing this CD (which resides in iTunes now) until the day I die.
Notable pieces are Shirley Scott's "Think", Les McCann's "With These Hands" and "Compared to What", and the awesome "Listen Here" by Eddie Harris.

Columbia records, according to the 2 other reviewers, you are sitting on a pile of "gold", you can re-release this with the missing pieces and get people like me to purchase it again. I am serious when I say that it would be worth $20, it's an investment for a lifetime.
