What Young Lion records will hold up?

[relyles]

I think Terence Blanchard may have been considered part of the Young Lion gang at once. His Malcolm X Jazz Suite is one of my favorite recordings from the early nineties.

[Hot Ptah]

Marcus Roberts--Alone With Three Giants. This is one that holds up, in my opinion.

Harper Brothers - Remembrance Live at The VV

Yeah, I never considered Kenny Garret a Young Lion. He always stood out from the pack....a much more original player, with a very unique sound coming from his horn. I like "Triology" and "Persuance" as well.

Me too, along with SONGBOOK. I think Garrett had a great run in the mid-1990s... for some reason, I haven't liked what he's done since quite as much.

Definitely this one by brother Branford

In my book, this one and "Crazy People Music" are classics.

I defintiely agree that "Simply Said" and "Happy People" are sub par, especially when compared to "Triology", "Persuance" and "Songbook". However, I really liked "Standard of Language". Thought it was in the same league as the latter 3 albums.
