Has anybody heard this. I was going to bed last night and turned on WBGO and was starting to doze off when one of the cuts from this album came on. He's got a real nice sound with a lot of different ideas coming out of his horn. It got me up and I wrote his name down so I wouldn't forget. I haven't seen his name too much although I see that he's on Danny D'Imperio's album Big Band Bloviation.

Brad, I have the previous release, Philly-New York Junction and have this one on my want-to-buy list. Mags has a number of Criss Cross dates; they're all pretty solid in a Criss Cross sort of way.

Brad ---- also be aware that Joe was (is?) a member of the N.Y. Hardbop Quintet - sharing the front line with tenor player Jerry Weldon.
