mikeweil Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 This is right in the middle between earlier Blue Note organ albums and later funky stylistics, and has some hip Wade Marcus arrangements with vibes, guitar, two basses, drums, and percussion. I liked it instantly and learned a lot from it. Quote

Saw Feldman at Ronnie Scott's "old place" in 1959 , during a triumphant Xmas home visit to the UK "just after he joined Cannonball Adderley", as Simon Spillett told me. When I saw him he played only vibes, but it was his piano playing, as on this disc, that fascinated me. Tellingly, he said that Carl Perkins had been a big influence on his distinctive chording style. Quote

Well, they've gotta sell it somehow! IIRC that's a track on the album, a nice tune from Jimmy Lunceford in the 30s. (I wonder if that was the first of the many "For ------s Only" tunes (e.g. Jimmy Heath's "For Minors Only"). Quote

Yeah, It's the Sy Oliver tune "For Dancers Only" as the very first track, but it gives the impression that it's a solo piano album to those who wouldn't know any better (besides ignoring half the tracks on vibes).
