Time to share the love... Here's the CD I'm offering. The FIRST PERSON TO QUOTE THIS POST gets the CD. MAKE SURE YOU QUOTE THIS POST. I want to make sure it doesn't go out to someone who wasn't trying to win. FRANK MORGAN ALL-STARS Reflections Contemporary 14052 Old Bowl, New Grits; Reflections, Starting Over, Black Narcissus, Sonnymoon For Two, O.K., plus CD bonus track Caravan with Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Mulgrew Miller, Ron Carter, Al Foster Terms such as supergroup and all-stars may understate the stature of this imposing 1988 sextet. Frank Morgan, at the peak of his personal renaissance, meets two front-line players who had been at the forefront of jazz’s new directions for two decades, a bass/drum team for the ages, and the period’s brightest young pianist. Beyond its individual name power, Reflections also verifies that Henderson and Hutcherson played just as magnificently in years when listeners weren’t paying attention, and that the bebop-rooted Morgan (who also recorded a Charlie Parker tribute album, Yardbird Suite, with this rhythm section) could function just as convincingly in the more contemporary realm of Miller’s “Old Bowl, New Grits” and Hutcherson’s “Starting Over.” The session is filled with memorable contributions, from Morgan’s chorus on the title ballad to a bonus-track “Caravan” with jaw-dropping drumming from Al Foster. Allmusic.com Review by Scott Yanow Altoist Frank Morgan leads an all-star group on this excellent hard bop set. With tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster also in the sextet, it is not surprising that Morgan sounds a bit inspired. The musicians all play up to their usual level, performing "Caravan" (which was added to the CD version) and Sonny Rollins' "Sonnymoon for Two," plus a song apiece by Thelonious Monk ("Reflections"), Miller, Hutcherson, Henderson and Carter. Recommended. Note: This is the out-of-print Contemporary version from 1989, not the OJC. This is a good one... I wish I had more CDs to choose from... ENJOY!

Thanks -e-! I'm going to see what I have lying around here... I'm up, and I'll post something soon. Surely there's one of those big, fat, ugly, underutilized Mosaic boxes taking up a lot of valuable space on your shelf . . . . Oh yeah, that Kenny G Select hasn't been getting much attention. Actually, I only have one box of jazz CDs at home, so I'm going to give up something good... It's tempting to share a McMaster title that's been RVG'd, but I wouldn't do it. Hmmmmm......

If nobody has replied yet? I'll take it.

Instead of a PM, you should have it so the person who replies to the offer post first (in this thread). That way you won't be deluged with PMs from folks who came in late (like me).

You guys do nice work! Damn!

I'll be trippin' if Jim Dye has a section of his forum for AAJ. I check AAJ all the time. I'm glad it's there (normally). :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile:

But... but... but... we have Roboticons!

Actually... I'm just joking. I would never want to see something like this happen to an artist's work.

You know... Why don't they just change it to a Joe Henderson album... I bet his family wouldn't get all uptight... It's not like it hasn't been done before... There's that Cecil Taylor session that became a Coltrane album... Problem solved. (Just kidding )

I still can't help thinking of him as Booby Hutcherson...

Thanks Lon! I haven't even heard these albums... I'd buy the reissues.

What the heck, I did the work...

That is an OUTSTANDING cover! I'm not even going to bother posting mine.

I don't have the Chambers Select, but the color for the circle behind the number and the photo looks good. I bet it's correct. Man... that picture makes me want to compete my set.

I'll give it a shot.

Great covers, Deus62!
