If you are a Johnny Lytle fan, or a jazz vibraphone fan, you need to find this long OOP Muse CD.  This music is just as tasty as the front cover photo suggests and features some of Johnny Lytle's finest playing, and that is saying a lot.    Johnny Lytle and Houston Person were an excellent match.  I would have loved to have heard a duo album by them.  There is a wonderful version of "September Song", but the highest highlights here are the 3 original songs by Mr. Lytle:  the title track, "Adoration" and the achingly beautiful and melancholy sweet soul ballad, "Should I Love You?".  That last song is marvelous.  Had it come along 30 years earlier, I'm sure Mr. Lytle would have had another hit on his hands.  It's a tune musicians of any instrument should check out when looking for new material to play.  I'd love to hear an organ trio version of it.

Oh yeah, I have The Village Caller and like it very much.  

But my favorite Johnny Lytle recordings are his two Milestone LPs, compiled on this CD:

Available from Real Gone Music.

I'm in a bebop mood lately, like I regularly am. Specifically since Charlie Parker's 100. And thankfully I have some of those reissues Savoy did at the beginning of the 21st century.

The way Miles ends his solo on "When Lights Are Low"! Lovely in itself, it always makes me think that there was some passing kinship between Miles and Richard Rodgers.

Finishing up Disc 1. Where has this been my whole life. This is fantastic stuff.
