damn... for that price it better be good...but it looks like it would have some killer shit...b, 21b, 21what im wondering is whether Mr Batiste was A. a student there when they did this record B. teaching at the end of his playing career C. doing this project on the side out of community pride and shit....b, 21b, 21Hmmmand Im thinking most of those students on the record woulda ended up playing on some decent records....anyone recognise any names... or more improteantly got a mp3 of the record to upload....

How I would love to hear that record!

I think there was a thread about this very record a while back.

I found a copy of this at Amoeba earlier this year for like $6. Really solid album. I never would have expected it to go for that much though.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21i doubt the buyer is german. Private US Jazz stuff is seldomly seen on eBay Germany, but prices normally dont explode like with this record. b, 21Sometimes you can even score some decent records for little $. b, 21But 2100 dollars is INSANE. cant imagine that east of underground would go for that much on ebay germany.
