Here is one that came highly recommended to me recently I wanted to pass on. I ordered today.
@Andy has pointed out this may of been available in Europe before NA as he has had his copy for a bit. It seems sold out in some places in NA but Amz, Dusty Grooves, Acoustic Sounds have it.

Willen had a great tone, not sure if I could compare him to Dexter, Hawk, or Bird ? But Sonny Criss seems to be closer ? Feel free to discuss other Wilen albums please.

Finally was able to snag a vinyl copy of this one. Highly recommended! If you can find one or Elemental tells me it is currently being repressed.

What a coincidence, I smoked a joint and blasted off with this album last night 😂. I found a pretty stellar sounding Japanese pressing at a local for a good price! The way Red kicks off his solo on Birks Works is incredible, sounds like a giant angry spider running at you. View attachment 127899

I have a lot of Red on digital and there are many gems in that library including this one. I will go through them and post my faves, I usually like his trio's the most.

I have one other Red, it’s an OJC of Red’s Piano I believe? Red cover.

Actually one of my most spun records during the holidays, has a wonderfully jubilant energy to it.
