Dec 16, 2011 - I have this version on the (unauthorized?) import CD: Someday My Prince Will come. Another Amazon reviewer points to the album The Quartet from the 1961 Europa Jazz LP.

Dec 16, 2011 - p.s. I've listened to this track maybe 1000 time, and never tired of it. I would have to classify it, in my humble opinion, as the single best musical performance ever recorded (notwithstanding the somewhat less than ideal recording quality). I wish I had been there to hear it live, but alas, I had not yet been born...

Feb 22, 2012 - The solo by Paul is absolutely sublime - it is so pure and clear and warm - I never tire of it and can't play it once without playing it at least twice more. I have never come across so perfect a piece of playing anywhere else - utterly beautiful. I'm amazed that this is not more widely known - tell your friends
