Read in the Plaid Room newsletter that they have the Toussaint: "Life Love and Faith" Speaker's Corner release in stock ($35).

It’s very good. Has the Mike H seal of approval

Here is one that came highly recommended to me recently I wanted to pass on. I ordered today.
@Andy has pointed out this may of been available in Europe before NA as he has had his copy for a bit. It seems sold out in some places in NA but Amz, Dusty Grooves, Acoustic Sounds have it.

Willen had a great tone, not sure if I could compare him to Dexter, Hawk, or Bird ? But Sonny Criss seems to be closer ? Feel free to discuss other Wilen albums please.

Finally was able to snag a vinyl copy of this one. Highly recommended! If you can find one or Elemental tells me it is currently being repressed.

Thought I had it a few weeks ago , Amz sent the wrong album, then sold out so had no replacements

I'm not very familiar with every pressing of this album, but I have the OJC and it sounds incredible. Great jazz album, check it out.

What a coincidence, I smoked a joint and blasted off with this album last night . I found a pretty stellar sounding Japanese pressing at a local for a good price! The way Red kicks off his solo on Birks Works is incredible, sounds like a giant angry spider running at you. View attachment 127899

I have a lot of Red on digital and there are many gems in that library including this one. I will go through them and post my faves, I usually like his trio's the most.

I have one other Red, it’s an OJC of Red’s Piano I believe? Red cover.

Actually one of my most spun records during the holidays, has a wonderfully jubilant energy to it.

Preorder showed up yesterday. Great pressing, super nice art, and some absolutely fantastic free jazz. Graves and Parker play so well together.

My copy was great as well!

My kid and I did a wiggly dance all weekend to it.
