Anyway, YouTube followed that album with a recommendation for this one, which I never even knew about --

Me too.  No idea that this existed.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Dave Cliff was a friend in the late 1960s when we were both students in Leeds, I at the University, Dave on the pioneering Jazz and Light Music course at the College of Music where he was taught by Tristano veteran Peter Ind. I renewed the friendship with  Dave at a concert in Manchester in 1984 when he was playing in a sextet of Jimmy Deuchar, Johnny Griffin, Slide Hampton, Peter Ind and Al Levitt. Probably his greatest moment on record was when he recorded in Scandinavia with Konitz, Marsh and Ind. I believe he's still playing, but he never seems to have gigs in the north of England, which is a pity as I'd love to hear him again.

Bill,

I consider Dave Cliff to be a first rate jazz guitar player. He has a couple of very very good CD's on the Spotlite label as well as many recordings as a sidemen.

The recent sad departure of Irish guitarist Louis Stewart leaves Dave as the leading jazz guitarist in this part of the world IMO.

Not one of my favorite Cedar Walton recordings. I don't care for Cedar's electric piano on some tracks. His acoustic piano on the other tunes is excellent. Hank Mobley plays well below par. This was one of his final recordings and his health was most likely  an impediment.218Hz8HgfbL._AC_UY218_ML3_.jpg

Latin-jazz versions of Horace Silver compositions -- works very well!
