This is the only album I have for Tom Harrell but I keep going back to it often. He has surrounded himself with a group of excellent young musicians including on sax Wayne Escoffery, pianist Danny Grissett and drummer Jonathan Blake.http://www.you...

frogmanGood juxtaposition. Miles certainly looks mean with that scowl on his face. I think pjw's point about Evan's addiction could be telling. Someone pursuing a heroin habit is less lilkely to have the time and energy to devote to his business c...

pjwThe box set "Side Steps" is still available for $35 !!. I checked out the listing on Amazon and it seems like a bargain.Since I did not order "All Morning Long" yet I only have two titles , "Soul Junction" on lp and " Tenor Madness" on cd.

pjwI am also a big boxing fan. My research shows that red Garland did indeed have a amateur boxing career with about thirty five fights as a welterweight. before he gave it up to pursue his music career. It seemed that both were going on simultane...

pjwI have the companion LP Soul Junction listed on your allmusic link but don't have All Morning Long which would be a good addition for both Coltrane and early D Byrd. I was not aware of the box set side steps but this album is probably on it it'...
