I've seen the cover of that album, but never heard it.  I think some
of its tracks have been reissued on compilations, but the whole thing
has never been reissued on CD.  I think that was the last EmArcy LP,
before Maynard signed with Roulette, and I have the Maynard box set on
Mosaic, of all the Roulette tracks; I think the Mercury/EmArcy stuff
is very hard to find these days.  Check this discography:

Good to hear that Burgess stayed on the band that long, although I
thought his early section in the Roulette years was Slide Hampton and
Don Sebesky - maybe Burgess left before the Newport Festival gig.

PS the Newport album led to one of my favorite lines in an album
review: "the _Message from Newport_ seems to be: stand further back."
