I did. This material has been out of circulation for almost 20 years, and I've been obsessed with bringing it back in. Omnivore is not only bringing it back, they're releasing the entire session, three nights, seven sets-warts and all. -Laurie Pepper Maiden Voyage was a Japanese-owned jazz club, near MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, from 1979 - 1983.
