Last one. I used to have more, but traded some for shelf space. Israel Crosby always reminds me to do less, but do it better.
I didn't look to see if the original "Cantaloupe Island" has been discussed but I was checking out some of the many, many versions done over the years. As a palate cleanser I went back to the original HH version and was once again reminded of how great the originals of the classics are and how so many of the others don't really measure up. I'm playing it as a special request for an upcoming gig and will try to access as much or the original vibe as I can convey, especially the slow, hypnotic groove.
Yup. It's easy to kind of dismiss those songs that are played by all of the beginning jazz combos, but if you go back and listen Herbie Hancock's "Takin' Off" (Watermelon Man) or Joe Henderson's "Page One" (Blue Bossa), you are reminded how good those recordings actually were.
Prime Ray Brown, perfect rhythm section, and all around killer hard bop quintet record.
Been picking though bins looking for a copy for 15 years. This is a recent reissue, cut from analogue masters purchased with an unexpected Amazon gift card this week.
