The only one I have is the Joe Chambers. I got that because Chambers became one of my favorite musicians as he appeared on so many incredible mid-'60s sessions on the Blue Note label with the likes of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Bobby Hutcherson, etc. Unfortunately, his title on SACD was in the fusion vein and it didn't immediately wow me. Maybe I should give it another chance. The Hank Jones would be more to my liking.

  I have several Eighty-Eights and along with great talent and wonderful performances in a live setting the sonics are really top tier and in some instances challenging.
  
  Tip:
  
  Eighty-Eights can be expensive (in the $50 range as they [the ones I have] are imported from Japan. But I have purchased them at practically half price including shipping. Here's what I've done. I go to SA-CD.net net, click on amazon.com for vendors. You see that the price is $51. But then you go to where it says copies available "new and used". If they have what you are looking for "MusicJapan.JP" will be listed. They have sold me Eighty-Eights for $26 for a new version. And the service is super fast---a couple of days.
  
  MusicJapan.JP actually has quite a few titles (actually thousands) including SACDs and hard to get Extons. But they can't seem to sell them cheaply unless there is an Amazon.com link.
  
  By the way, I just listened to the "Great Jazz Trio" again. Man I'm impressed. And Patitucci is back in the running for MVP. But the authenticity of Hakim's drums/symbols are something I have never experienced outside of a jazz venue. And Jones is *so* masterful with tempos. He clearly is the head man in charge.
