whenever hurst comes up @ jazz forums i try to chime in. way underrated musician. one of the best bass players alive. feel, tone, time, different styles... he's the man.

An excellent bass player - I fondly remember this trio album with Kenny Kirkland and Elvin Jones, which I found to be one of the best new trio albums at the time of its release.

I purchased a new copy of One for Namesake a few months ago for less than $2 from gohastings.com. It is a pretty democratic trio outing. I didn't realize that Hurst was playing so much this weekend. Although it pains me to have to miss him with the Drum Ensemble on Friday, I hope to at least catch him with Karriem Riggins, who is another underrated player.
