Rok, you "sho nuff" know what to say about music while cruising the Delta. The "Duece" had 8 track with "Reverb", it sounded like you were in a cave with an echo. Here's a picture of the duece; mine was a metallic blue green with a black vinyl top...

Rok, that's got to be the the best "Jazz Messenger" group ever; Lee Morgan and Benny Golson were at the top of their game along with the rest of the group, I had to look and play that one twice.Enjoy the music.

Rok, I understand where you're coming from in regard to "soul jazz", and while it may not be worthy of you're collection, it's still good music. Although I may or may not decide it's worthy of my collection at this stage, I'll refrain from critici...

Alex, I want to thank you for imparting some "political truth" to this forum; jazz musicians couldn't make a living without Europe, and Japan; I was told this by "Frank Gant", a jazz drummer.Enjoy the music.
