since it was an OJC that inspired me to stop lurking and start posting, when the opportunity came for me to choose an AOTW i thought in my own little way i'd honor that by choosing another OJC. a not so big and important title, but great to listen to new jazz date recorded on april 19, 1960 @ englewood cliffs ('supervised' by esmond edwards and arranged by oliver nelson).
