why didnt Hank have a "Down here on the ground" lp?

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

im listening to a shiny 1st press Down Here on the Ground, and im thinking, "this is a new and exciting way of making jazz records"-- i wish hank made an album like this. stanley turrentine did it and i think some might say overdid it cause he has a zillion albums but right now im grooving to it--

Good point, Aric. Just about all of Hank's albums are standard hard bop, and they are a bit samey. That's why I hardly ever play them.

Perhaps it was thought that his sound was too light for a treatment with a lush orchestra. Most likely, though, there were no funds available.
