It’s the classic quartet with Rouse and I think it’s one of their finer outings. and even though I really, really dig Rouse (Yeah! Is THE straightahead tenor sax record for me) I like my Monk best combined with a more powerful tenor player like Griff, Coltrane or Newk

I believe he did not see himself as good enough.

That’s it Working at home this morning

Yeah it’s a damn shame. All excellent musicians.

the last Chick for today

Some more Tina. They should really make True Blue a Classics Vinyl Series issue.

That's a well spent 16 dollars!

Very good album. Amazing sonics. Highly recommended.

Ah there’s that Rega P3

Yeah I definitely get that. Fantastic album.

oh my! How this music deserved the Acoustic Sounds treatment. It sounds amazing 😍 R.I.P. Pharoah Sanders!

Yeah I have the cd's to but also having trouble to dig trough all those alternates.... Gray was such a great saxophonist. And a tragic figure unfortunately.

Also very looking forward to this one.

Thanks. His records from this era are hit and miss for me so will give this one a try

It’s a great photograph and probably the one of Wardell most used on the Internet these days.
