Savoy's Enchanting Rhythms
5 out of 5 stars

This is my top pick from all of James' work. Savoy alone makes the whole album worth owning. The trading off between Steve Gadd (on brushes) and Billy Hart (on sticks) is simply enchanting.
James' Standout Album
5 out of 5 stars

In my opinion, this is the standout album from James' impressive discography. Savoy alone justifies purchasing the entire album. The exchange between Steve Gadd (on brushes) and Billy Hart (on sticks) during their solos is simply enchanting.
