Have to say I disagree with that assessment. I enjoyed hearing Art on tunes like Moanin' and the others that he covered on the record. But obviously, mileage varies.

There may have been a couple more tracks from "Hits" (not the above 2) on one of those Columbia double LP's (which also included more from "Time and Place"). I suggested to Mosaic that it could make a nice single, and the reply was that they were considering it if they couldn't get their proposed issue of the "Time" sesion out.

There's a recording with either the same personnel or at least Jimmy and Cedar. It's either called Here's that Rainy Day or has that tune on it. I got a cassette from a mail-order house, but I'm a senile 55-year-old now, and forget. Jazz Heritage? Thank you, working brain cells! It has wah-wahs and stuff, but that's what they did then. Most is straight ahead. Art sounds beautiful and Jimmy Heath is IMO the most beautiful, focussed soprano player. What a sound he gets... They are a great team, as Art and Clifford Jordan were a little later. I have a feeling some of this material is on it, too. I really like it, have to dig it out.
