I've enjoyed this CD for many years.  It's a persuasive overview of Ford's recordings for Muse -- probably more persuasive than any of the individual LPs he made for label (although I don't have all of them).

Still for me his best solo work is to be found on Kip Hanrahan`s "Desire Develops An Edge" (American Clave) from 1982 ....

This is a crowd pleaser.  My wife gets Christmas music, which I generally dislike, my daughter loves Pass (as do I) and I get a musically satisfying album.

I need to check that out!  Thanks for the heads-up, sir!

Near time re-play .... bought as new release in the late 70`s but didn`t bother too much back than .... excellent Sy Johnson arrangements and superb soloing (John Handy, Don Pullen) makes this a clear winner nowadays ....

All Hank Mobley records are fine, this is particularly fine with Curtis Fuller and McCoy Tyner.

I'm listening to an Art Blakey concert from 1973 from Wolfgang's Vault.  The band: Carter Jefferson, Eddie Henderson, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Mickey Bass and Ray Mantilla.  The kicker? Sonny Stitt guesting on every song and Roy Haynes joining in on 'Night in Tunisia'.  

Wolfgang's Vault added a $10 credit to members' accounts for Black Friday.  I downloaded this and a Giants of Jazz Newport gig.  There are so many great concerts up.

It's worth looking for.  It's a live recording which gives the band plenty of room.  There's only 5 tracks, but the shortest track is 12 minutes long.

Now playing:

Lots of stellar talent represented there, but my vote for MVP of this compilation goes to Houston Person for this beauty --

This arrived today.  I bought a copy signed by Gerry Wiggins, Andy Simpkins and Paul Humphrey.
