His work with Clifford Brown - so either the 2-disc compilation I mentioned earlier (the second disc of which contains a variety of incredible work Roach did with other musicians after Brownie's death), or this (the single disc release that noise owns)...
My eye doctor told me that I had warped my eyeballs, because I'd been needing reading glasses for years before I actually got them. I read about some kind of contacts that you sleep in that reshape your eyeballs, so I'm giving that some thought, but it sounds more than a little uncomfortable. I mostly need them for driving and watching my kids play sports, so prescription sunglass work most of the time, all tho' I'm sure I looked like old and sad when I sat thru an evening outdoor concert in them. (I forgot the regular ones, ok?)

Would you recommend LASIK surgery? A friend who had it put me off for life by describing it in close detail, but I could be tempted. The contact lens routine is auto-pilot for me, but I wouldn't mind dropping it. And the sensation of waking in the night and being able to see properly must be fun!
Get it. It's so great to wake up and be able to see. And it was virtually painless. The only discomfort I felt was afterward, and it was no worse than the sensation of having dry eyes. Eye drops made everything just fine. It was less uncomfortable than when I put n contact lenses for the first time. It's fantastic.

I'm very, very jealous of you for this. As soon as I have the cash to spare, this is a top priority.
My friend described having his eyeball squidged about in the most revolting way, maybe the technology's moved on. I'm waiting for it on the NHS, no way I could afford to save up for it.
There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
