Mattyman: I liked your italics.
Did you know that vols 2 and 3 were issued in Japan with new material? These should be available at affordable prices, I guess.
I was always reluctant with this 1524 because of the presence of Kenny Burrell who unfortunately was pushed upon K.D. for these sessions. I bought 1524 finally at the Paris flea market in the early sixties for the going price of 19,95 francs and am happy to have it. The cover is fine and J.R. a revelation, as is this Arthur Edgehill, the drummer.

I saw that Kenny Dorham and wanted to buy it. It's from that guy who is (and I quote, including the typo in 'fanatic'): "selling off a collection of Jazz & Classical for a lady at my Church who recently lost her Husband and he was a finatic vinyl collector. But soon I saw the price going up beyond the limits of my wallet, so that was that. I love that Kenny Dorham BLP 1524. Every time I listen to it, gives me that weird feeling of listening to music from an era I was never part of, but still with that deep yearn of wishing that I could have been there to enjoy it for real.

I, for one, rue the day(s) back in late 80s and 90s when I sold most of my Blue Notes, etc. For prices I thought were good at the time, $40.00-50.00 but seem like mere pittances now. Oh for those Mobleys and Morgans again.
