Bert,
I just ordered today this Mulligan's disc (used) from Germany. Cost was $0.53 plus shipping:

Must check this one out! I'm a big fan of both players and have missed this, foolishly.

Jazz Giants '58 - CD rip. Another good one with Getz, Mulligan, Edison, Bellson & the Peterson Trio
So now switching back to the Tingvall Trio with the great Martin Tungvall on piano......., needed a bit more modern jazz ....., while not yet avant-garde .....
Truly great album.
Eric Wood - "Letters From The Earth" (1997)
If of interest, and certainly for the reason of the ever elusive "why", I told this story here originally in 2008:
"Eric wrote a song dedicated to Tim and Jeff (Buckley) on his "Letters From The Earth" disc. I saw Eric perform it at an in-store in Pdx, feet curled over the stage edge, eyes closed, head tilted toward the ceiling. I was convinced Eric had left this reality and was with Tim and Jeff during those moments - stunning to witness and hear."
Lyrics:
Out of the Blues and
Into a virgin boy she came
Spreading like opium
Over a heart so pure
Over a heart so pure
Out of the Blues and
With no uncertain voice she sang
Dark like a dreamer
Armed with the night's allure
Armed with the night's allure
Out of the blues and
Into his soul
...soon as she moves he
Lose control
Is she a sorceress
With a most powerful potion or
Is she a healer
Holding the only cure
Holding the only cure?
CD.
Though her choice of partner leaves a little to be desired, this is an excellent album. And yes, the cover art needs sorting out.
On vinyl...
Peter Gabriel - New Blood, on vinyl...
Followed up with this one....
On vinyl...amazing as always!! 
Now switched to this fine album with a lot of bass....
1982 - Vinyl - US Promo....
On CD:-
Jack Bruce - Shadows In The Air
After a whole day of jazz, I am closing the day with this nice rendition of Haydn string quartets. Bought all quartets on Qobuz in 24/44.1 and then as usual organized it in it's original covers and album order. While I also have the set of the Los Angeles Quartet, I like this set better do it's round sound and in my feeling more emotional touch - while I haven't done an A-B comparison...
This is a very good EP from EBTG, another cover that needs fixing.
1984 - Vinyl - U.K. Box set...
I haven't listened to this in a long time. This set demands the listener's full, uninterrupted attention and the night is young. Well, here we go.
CD.
Mary-Chapin Carpenter. Come On Come On. On CD from 1992. One of my wife's CDs that I've taken kindly to over the years.
