When I started this business about 3 years ago, these Disk Union Japan Premium Blue Note Reissues are not known outside of Japan.I used to get a lot and posted and sold many titles and copies at eBay.

I think Barry Harris is a great jazz pianist but…he is somehow underrated…He is one of the few jazz musicians who lived the golden jazz era, be bop and hard bop era and just died recently.He played with Miles Davis in the early 50’s. He also played with Charlie Parker in the 50’s as well.Obviously…
