[Free For All]

A great tune from one of my favorite Blue Notes, Roll Call.

No doubt a themed collection of numbers with the "sanctified" feel/beat/groove/etc/whatever.

i'd love to see the line-up!

If done by the right DJ/compiler, it could be a nice purchase.

I like that one of the Amazon tags associated with this disc is "boring." (alongside smooth jazz, easy listening and Norah Jones)

There was a series of vinyls issued here in the UK in the mid-80s with very similar cover art, also compiled by Mr Peterson just as the Blue Note hard bop craze was taking off. I think the first 2 were 'Blue Bop' or something like that. I have Vol 2 - full of Don Wilkerson, Tina Brooks, Mobley etc. Intended for dance floor use I think.

Where I grew up in northern New England, Baptists had distinctly different beats than they're talking about here (or, more precisely, virtually no beats at all).
