It hurts to hear Mrs. Simone mis-produced in such a bland fashion ... 

At least CTI managed to release one superb (and 1-2 partially satiesfyin) album(s) feat the great Esther Phillips ....

[mikeweil]

Agreed - but Mrs. Phillips was a totally different type of singer that fit much better into the CTI sound. 

Got me Esther Phillips' two Atlantic albums last year and like them a lot.

Now listening tp Hazel Scott:

(from the Mingus Debut box set)

yep!

that's a splendid record, not one false move. One of Wayne Henderson's best productions, imo.
