Mark Stryker Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Came across Milt Jackson's "Born Free" (Limelight) at a used store today but decided not to bite due to price. Now having second thoughts. Anybody heard this session and have a strong opinion on quality relative tp other Jackson LPs as a leader? On a broader note, are there any other of Jackson's Limelight LPs worth seeking out? I don't know these records at all. Here are the details for "Born Free" Jimmy Owens (tp -1/5,9,10) Jimmy Heath (ts -1/5,9,10) Milt Jackson (vib) Cedar Walton (p) Walter Booker (b) Mickey Baker or Otis "Candy" Finch (d) NYC, December 15, 1966 1. 39209 A Time And A Place 2. 39210 We Dwell In Our Heart 3. 39211 Bring It Home 4. 39212 Whalepool 5. 39213 One Step Down 6. 39215 So What 7. 39216 Born Free 8. 39217 Tears Of Joy 9. 39219 Some Kinda Waltz 10. 39220 The Shadow Of Your Smile ** also issued on Limelight LS 86045.

Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Never heard it but the number of tunes suggest no one gets to stretch out. Quote

mikeweil Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Pleasant, even good, but not essential. I had similar thoughts after listening to it when the first Japanese reissue came out - the personnel had me expect much better music. Quote
