I found this album at Barnes And Noble Booksellers here in the USA. From The Barnes and Noble Website:\r\nwww.barnesandnoble.com/w/one-for-my-baby-joe-williams/379106\r\n\r\nAfter leaving RCA Victor Records in 1966, Joe Williams began performing with the recently formed Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, which had some of the rhythmic impetus he had enjoyed with Count Basie. Contracted to Solid State Records, they cut two albums, a blues collection called Presenting Joe Williams And The Jazz Orchestra (1967) and a ballad set, Something Old, New And Blue (1968). This budget-priced compilation selects a mere four tracks from the former and 11 of the 12 tracks from the latter (the missing one is \"Everybody Loves My Baby\"). While a more complete collection might have been hoped for, the music is still impressive, as Williams re-lives the kind of sound he achieved with Basie and the Jones-Lewis organization proves itself an effective neo-swing unit.\r\n\r\nProduct Details\r\n\r\nRelease Date: 07/21/1998\r\nLabel: Delta\r\nUPC: 0018111713528
