I have it and agree with all the positive opinions expressed above. It's a very fine CD.

Clark Terry, for sure. And you know what, Benny Goodman, too. I find that his clarinet playing overflows with jazz joy. You can tell that he just loved playing.

Ok Moderators. Sorry. Delete this topic. Hadn't noticed the previous topic posting.

Worlds Records is going out of business. In order to promote internet sales we are offering a 5% discount on all web orders. This discount will show up in the final invoice. After more than 40 years in business we will be closing when all inventory is gone. http://www.worldsrecords.com/ Received this message this morning. One of my favorite CD on-line shopping places. In a way I`m not surprised. Their inventory had really been dwindling lately. Placed my last order this morning. Lots of sales and special promos. So long, Worlds Records and thanks. You guys really knew your stuff. Enjoyed doing business with you.

It is, and so are these:

Could really chose any track from this CD, but I'll choose track 4 "Mind Wine." This really is a terrific recording, one of the best I've heard recently. I've never heard Terence Blanchard play better than he does on these tracks.

Yes, and those Inner City pressings were rather inconsistent, to say the least. Still have a bunch on that label, including the Dexter Gordon I referened above. IIRC, Steeplechase eventually withdrew the license from Inner City at least partly because they were not pleased with the quality of the pressings.

One of my favorite Dexters!

A bit redundant, as Jetman already named this one, but these are among my favorite OP recordings: And it's really a quartet with Bobby Durham on drums throughout.
