I realise there's a fashion for reissuing the mono versions of famous sessions we've long loved in stereo, on the grounds that most people at the time first heard them in mono and… well, it's another way of exploiting the out-of-copyright back-catalogue. But this is kind of ridiculous: two reissues from the same production group, with the same introductory booklet note. And one of them has both the stereo and mono mixes of the attractive but somewhat overrated BATAT – no alternative takes or alternative edits, as sometimes happened in stereo's earliest days, but just the same 37 minutes mixed differently. The bonus albums on this set, both heard in stereo, are Lockjaw Davis's big-band vehicle Trane Whistle (with Dolphy just playing section-work) and the Nelson-Dolphy quintet Straight Ahead – so why not include their sextet session Screamin' The Blues, which is mentioned in the notes, instead of the mono mix? The other, more varied reissue has only one BATAT, plus Oliver's follow-up More BATAT (with then more established soloists including Webster in one of his last US dates) and the Fantabulous album where Nelson himself takes most of the solos – plus four extra versions of his hit song ‘Stolen Moments’ played by four other groups (the J.J. Johnson and Lockjaw ones both arranged by Nelson). They might as well have added Mark Murphy's rendition, but of course that's not yet out of copyright.
