Please do! I would happily join the discussion...

Fats Navarro was an extremely talented player. So sad he was gone so soon! As for the Royal Roost recordings, there is yet another release, on the Jazz View label. But I haven't compared the material on these two-cds pack with the Fresh Sound disc. Agreed on Allen Eager, a marvellous player sadly underrecorded! Ernie Henry is another hidden gem, to be found in several Fats Navarro recordings for Blue Note and Savoy. Yesssssss!!!

Yes! This recording perfectly matches Whitney Balliett's definition of "the sound of surprise".

Yessssir! Thanks for the remembrances... This is also one of my favourite Jackie McLean albums.

I agree. We could live without yet another "with strings" album.
