Do you have a copy of See That Girl?
I don't have the whole 8 CD box, only the "Singles" disc. Do you need it?
No, I have everything on the singles disc. I've been unwilling to pay the crazy prices for the whole box.
I enjoyed a first spin of Omaha Diner yesterday. It features Charlie Hunter, Bobby Previte, Skerik and Steven Bernstein doing soul covers with the trumpet out front. You might enjoy it. https://www.discogs.com/release/5093591-Omaha-Diner-Omaha-Diner

I know it very well. Both Charlie & Bobby are old friends from my shop. I have a live set from The Cutting Room if you're interested. There's a bunch of Charlie on Internet Archive.
Happy to check out that set. I’m aware of the archive trove.

The only thing lacking on the Siragusa are liner notes telling me all the skinny on every song.
