Yes, definitely on my short list of desert island big band recordings. The mono recording quality is great. 

 

 

 

 

 

Fully agree. I had an early introduction to Blues Express at the age of 19 when I was blown away by "Sweetheart of Sigmund Freud" on a Radio Luxembourg broadcast. (BBC was never too keen on jazz- the devil's music, you know)

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Why Am I Treated So Bad! (Capitol, 1967)

Yeah.

This (1957-58) is my favorite period for Harold Land's tenor saxophone. It is before the Coltrane influence changed his playing. He sounds wonderful on the 2 sessions on which he appears. Elmo Hope is also in great form throughout.

After revisiting this and listening to the archival performance on the Blue Note's Patreon page, I may have to track down the box and the other Origin albums.  I'm on a Chick kick now.

Yes, indeed!

Love the tracks with a boppish young Junior Mance plus Roy Haynes.

So many later-to-be-notable pianists passed through the ranks of Lester's little bands.

Horace Silver in his autobiography recalls his apprenticeship there and how Prez called him        "Horacescope"

The Brecker Brothers Band from the Blue Note's Patreon page.  The only album I have with the Breckers together is Horace Silver's In Pursuit of the 27th Man.
