  13. I have all of these but am glad to get "Last Sessions" in CD format. Eddie Stitt was way past his prime by this time but nevertheless they are worth listening.

  15. Wow--the Blues for Duke is new to me--the last time I saw/heard Higgins was with Barry Harris--with Sam what a Rolls Royce for Stitt to roll in--thanks KC!
