You'd get no argument from me on that.  It's one helluva record.

 

Yes!   

 

Love the Griffin Davis thing if I want to hear something easy just to snap fingers and tap my feet. 
And I like the humour both of them have in their music. 

But most of all I like the tracks where they play Monk tunes. 

Only I don´t dig sooooo much Junior Mance. He has a helluva technique, but overdoes it a bit like Oscar Peterson, and I don´t like at all what he does with "Epistrophy". He destroys the tune that way how he plays it, and Epistrophy is the very beginning of modern jazz.....

Joe Henderson - Power To The People [Milestone, USA 1972 RE]

Right now this is sounding to me like Joe's best album

Picked up in a new to me record shop yesterday, always good to find another site to feed the hobby/habit/addiction...

Don’t know if it’s his best but definitely among his best. That’s such a great record. Addictive music. Joe made lot of great music for that label back than.

Not the first spin by any means, been digging in since it arrived just not posted it.

As for Henderson's best Milestone album, that tends to be whichever I'm listening to at the time 😃

And yes that MJQ is lovely, a lot of them are

Funny how we all hear things differently.  Because I love Mance's playing -- with Griff & Lock, with Dizzy, with Cannonball, with Gene Ammons -- whenever he's a sideman or a leader.

Different strokes for different folks, eh!?!

Freddie Hubbard - Blue Spirits (Blue Note, NY mono)

Very nice album! I have that as a NY Mono, too. From the days when such things were affordable...

Most of the releases on the Revelation label are interesting, and often also enjoyable. I believe I have some ten Clare Fischer releases. Now playing this one:
