This  Verve series from Newport '57 (all live) is really amazing. From the  Item above I like  the piano of Bobby Henderson very much.

I consider this to be a 5 Star album. Frank Foster is wailing, Ted Dunbar is in top form, Mickey Tucker plays outstanding throughout, his solo on "Joy Spring" is far and away the best thing I have ever heard from him. Earl May and Billy Hart do exactly what is required.

Mickey Tucker an unsung pianist ....

Yes!  Let's hear it for Mickey Tucker!   And Frank Foster too!

I have this same Foster recording -- with the trashed, half-submerged car on the cover -- on a Challenge CD:

Or at least I think it's the same music.

This is sounding great today. That Capitol sound!

Nice!  I've seen DeGreg twice here in Cleveland, once with Ira Sullivan and once with a medium ensemble that was playing Tadd Dameron tunes.  I spotted him in January at a Benny Golson/Emmet Cohen gig in Cincinnati.

Now finishing:

As much as I l enjoyed the bulk of my first listen, I won't be able to listen to it again.  The samples of Eric Garner struggling to breathe on the last track are too hard to hear.

Up next:

Raymond McMorrin - Ray Mack

And still awesome when I saw him in 1999, playing with his Quartet in his later ‘Mainstream’ style !

Rearward delivered on this reissue, that is for sure. The CD is so good that I resisted the 180g vinyl !
