...I agree with Ted Gioia's poor opinion of Exploring the Future.

Who cares what the record sounds like with that great cover art!

You mean this groovy cover?

The colors were more vivid on the original.

Heh. My LP copy has a b&w cover.

Yep, so does mine. Dootone late 60s/early 70s reissue.

The colors are more vivid on the Boplicity vinyl reissue!

"Harold in the Land of Jazz" is a special record. And don't miss its first-cousin, Elmo Hope's "The Fox."

Huh? My CD copy presents The Fox as a Harold Land album.

Sorry -- you're right. And I reviewed "The Fox" for Down Beat when it first came out; you'd think I would know better. On the other hand, Al Hirt on trumpet there certainly sounds unusual.

Glad to see so much respect for Harold in the Land of Jazz. IMHO it is slightly better than the Fox which is the one most people cite when referencing Harold Land. He is such a great player.

I agree; despite the rare recorded appearance of Dupree Bolton, I have a slight preference for "Harold in the land of jazz".

I must admit his name was not really familiar to me. I think if guys around me talked about bassists, have not mentioned him. 

But to my surprise, when I had a short look at a Bud Powell bio it was mentioned, that he played with Bud in early 1954, when Bud had a some weeks to play on the West Coast. But strange, if there was such a long tenure to on club, that there is no airshots or broadcasts. Not that I would be a completist, but I have not even known that Bud played otherwhere than in NY, and at Massey Hall in Canada....
