A lovely album. The piano solo by Hank Jones on the first track - The More I See You -  was especially marvelous.

 The Clovers: "Blue Velvet" from The Clovers: Their Greatest Recordings

Great vocals and beautiful sax backing - possibly Sam "The Man" Taylor. If anyone knows who the saxophonist is for sure, I'd like to know.

I believe it's Willis 'Gator Tail' Jackson, but I'm not where I can check my source at the moment.

Duke Ellington's tune Azure Te, aka Paris Blues, played by Kenny Burrell, Richard Wyands, John Heard, and Lenny McBrowne, on Burrell's Fantasy LP Stormy Monday. Makes me want to play that tune with a pianist who asked me to make up a trio with him ...

Available on this CD:

I've read that it's "Gator Tail" or Sam "The Man". If someone has an Atlantic discography, that might help settle the issue.

Pretty nice. I wondered how many members of the classic lineup were still around in 1995. Seems as if it was only Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin - the latter for part of the album - he was ill and passed before the album was released.
