Mal Waldron Quintet - Where Are You? (Soul Note, 1989)
I love the Sonny Fortune/Ricky Ford two-sax front line on this record. The saxes sound terrific here -- just as they do on the other record from this same session, Crowd Scene.

Yep, a while since I last played this one and it is is stunningly good. Like all of the series, in great sound too.

I got to see Jimmy Cleveland play on one occasion, nearly 20 years ago now though.

I play it from time to time. Underrated recording.

Charles Tyler: Eastern Man Alone (ESP)

Listening to this, I sometimes had the sense that I was hearing a string group, given Tyler's tone and the cello and two  bassists playing with him.

I recall getting Our Thing on CD. I’d never heard of any of the musicians at that point but it was on Blue Note...., I remember being forcibly struck by Andrew Hill’s playing and thinking wow! That’s different, I want to hear more by this guy....
