An older friend of mine turned me onto the Anderza album some years ago; I got a clean copy on yellow vinyl and I love the session. I also have the Hope meets Foster album and really enjoy it too.

Japhy — I have to admit, that’s why I played it too. And, like you, it ended up back on the shelf.

How funny; I have the Anderza LP as well, and a few months ago I also put it on the turntable for the first time. Part of my reason for doing so was to decide if I wanted to keep it or flip it. Like Al, I was quite impressed, and back into the racks it went!

I have a stereo pressing of Earl Anderza, with red vinyl, and it’s one of my favorite surprise finds of last year.

Oh man, that Earl Anderza is a new want list item. Not only does he show Dolphy influence in the first track on the Discogs page, but he does a few other interestingly subtle things too. Gotta seek that one out.

For years I’ve thought the Sonny Rollins / Plus 4 should really be selling for more than it usually does. I still think it’s a bargain.

Hope meets Foster is a very fine album indeed. Frank is featured as a real bopper, unlike his recordings on Savoy in the Basie vein,with Kenny Clarke.
Trumpeter Freeman Lee is also on Hope’s 10″ Blue Note quintet recording, also with Frank Foster. These three guys formed a good team.
Your top 4 is a dream selection, which could have been mine.
