Good to know that for 200 bucks I can buy a near mint copy of this record and for another ten bucks buy a demonstration copy rubber stamp and get a thousand times return on my investment.

But Getz ‘ Cool Sounds album is readily available, even as a volume in the sleeveless ARS series.

Rudolf. I would but, alas, I do not have the Fruscella record.

Gave a spin to Fruscella on Atlantic. Great music, also thanks to Allen Eager. Fruscella made two tracks with Stan Getz on his Cool Sounds album on Verve. The two tracks are compositions by Phil Sunkel.

yeah, it is really beautiful. I have a dead quiet Japanese pressing. The originals I’ve handled have not been in good shape. There are also some live CDs released by Fresh Sound (or one of their sub-labels)… have ’em but I believe they are yet to be unpacked from moving boxes.

Love Tony Fruscella…there is a live album, by him recorded at the Open Door, with Bill Triglia and Brew Moore. All the tunes on the Tony F. Atlantic session are wonderfully arranged by Phil Sunkel. Its a rare one. Some covers have Kakubuchi, some not. Some discs are flat edged…And you can hear some rare musicians such as Allen Eager, Bill Triglia, Will Bradley. Phil Sunkel was an interesting figure. He plays on The Cool Gabriel, the Aaron Sachs album on Rama. He recorded his own album for abc paramount…Cool music, on this one, nothing unforgettable anyway.

In the mid/late 90s, when I was getting into jazz, the Fruscella wasn’t cheap by any means. Of course at that time you could potentially find an affordable copy in corners of the world where the Goldmine price guide was the prevailing resource.

“It seems quite likely that the interest in Tony Fruscella today may be higher than it was at any point in his lifetime.” Is this ment as a joke ? Come on now, this statement covers so many jazz musicians . Not to mention the holy grails of Blue Note’s expensive roster.

abrasive_beautiful, that was what what widely thought but the “GH” is apparently for Gary Hobish, see: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/new-info-on-old-ojc-deadwax-thread.951785/
