SOUL GROOVING
MERL SAUNDERS TRIO & BIG BAND America Records – 30 AM 6093, France - 196? - (Fantasy / Galaxy)
My all-time favourite Merl Saunders album. Not an easy one to find. My copy is the french pressing on America Records.
No details of the personnel on the sleeve except that the big band arrangements are by Ray Shanklin.
Any additional info on the personnel would be much appreciated.

First time it happens to me. How could we infringe copyrights when this album has never been re-issued in 45 years (at least to the best of my knowledge)?

I'll delete the link if the album is re-issued.
