The only one I know is 'Check One', which has a bunch of stuff off OpArt, some of that lighter Detroit sound (eg. Shake, 69) plus a few fusion tracks (eg. Weather Report, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock). It's really nice. I was just wondering about the silence surrounding De Georgio on the weekend myself... hopefully there is something else on the way.
