@SanJordiBluenotian
Amazing！
YouTubeなどの動画を見ると、お兄さんのキャノンボール・アダレイの隣りで、二回りぐらい小さく、クマさんのようにかわいい印象ですね。
しかし、演奏にはアグレッシブで卓越したものを感じ、思わず惹き込まれます。
ウエス・モンゴメリーやボビー・ティモンズなどのサポートもさすが。
@MickHutchinsonMusician

Back in the days WRVR in New York use 2 play this quite often Awesome Lineup SOLID!!!!
@ronaldunkel2681
This is the definitive Classic LP among Jazz-Classics. And with Wes Montgomery’s inclusion plus adding Bobby Timmons making this album reaching the highest Jazz-Summit! This one seems to have slipped past Rudy van Gelder’s stamp of recording input. Hopefully our youngest generation can savour and appreciate this wonderful Jazz music. Thanks, Enjoy & Cheers!
