Musically this is superb, but if your reading this you probably already know that. The issue is these recent OJC reissues are on CDr not on Red Book CD’s. I understand that CD sales are really quite poor in recent times but selling a life limited media without actually letting people know what it is is pretty poor show...

First of all, let me explain that I began loving jazz since I was 16 . Now I am 78 and I have all the time I need to dedicate myself to this wonderful music . At the moment I own 2.573 pieces (LP's &Cd's), and this is my first review. I still remember that in 1960 I was studying German in Bayern and took the opportunity to go to Munich where Shelly Manne and other groups were playing. Richie Kamuca was on tenor sax and Joe Gordon on trumpet. : I was very much impressed by these two players so that I tried, when I had some money, to buy records of this quintet . Listening to Joe Gordon's "Looking Good" recorded in 1961, I heard for the first time Jimmy Woods on alto sax . The way he played seemed to me so advanced and brillant that I decided to find other recordings of this obscure and underrated musician .He also appears with Joe Gordon in "Awakening" recorded in 1962, in Teddy Edwards' Octet "Back to Avalon" recorded in 1960 and also in Gerald Wilson's "Portraits ", also recorded in 1960. There was only a recording left and I was lucky to find it at AMAZON. This was "Conflict". A remarkable Album with thw stellar line up of Carmell Jones on trumpet, the breath taking sound of the leader Jimmy Woods on alto, Harold Land on tenor , Andrew Hill on piano , George Tucker on bass and the great Elvin Jones on drums. I sicerely hope that this record will help many other fans to discover this "still-unknown" wonderful alto player.
P.S. Being aware of the fact that my english is not so good as "jazz cat Stef's from Genova", I think I've read nearly all his reviews, please do the necessary corrections . Marcello Bellini.
