That one is an unheralded classic, IMO.  I bought a used copy a few years ago and discovered that Richardson had written a personal inscription to a friend, which was a nice surprise.  His tone is glorious.

Now playing:

It's hard to go wrong with a rhythm section of Phil Markowitz, John Benitez and Clarence Penn.

Arlington Houston - Cool Casual: This arrived today.  I took a flier on it and am glad I did.  I was unfamiliar with Houston, who has worked and recorded with John Handy, and only knew his front line of Javon Jackson and Patches Stewart.  The album has catchy originals as well as 2 Wayne Shorter tunes and one each by Ron Carter and Tony Williams. 

Houston is strong on upright and electric without letting chops override taste.  It is a feel-good date.  Houston hasn't recorded another leader date, unfortunately.

Still in a Fats Navarro mode:

Great ! First in 1978 I had the Brown paper 2-LP Blue Note (LA Series) of "Fats Navarro" with almost all the BN stuff from 1947-1949, and when the CD Era started I purchased this with the additional track of Kenny Haggood singing "I think I´ll go away", and the non BN tracks "Stealin Apples" with Goodman and Gray is very fine, as is the Capitol tracks…..
