This album is an absolute treasure! It was the first time I'd ever listened to Milt... And I've been a fan ever since. I haven't checked out other versions and I don't see the need to. It's perfectly balanced and pressed just right.
This album is a true treasure! It was my first encounter with Milt... And I've been a fan ever since. I haven't explored other versions, nor do I feel the need to. It's perfectly balanced and expertly pressed.
In this rendition of "'Round Midnight," Ray Brown's bowed bass takes center stage, creating a profoundly emotional solo that shines amidst the other fantastic tracks. It's truly a remarkable performance that makes this Milt Jackson album a must-listen.
Just a couple of months prior to Thelonious Monk's passing, this Monk-inspired set was captured, part of a series of albums Pablo put out from a multi-night performance in April 1982 at London's Ronnie Scott's, featuring this same quartet. Like nearly all of Milt Jackson's works for the label, this album is a consistently impressive piece, showcasing excellent musicianship, and the vinyl itself is top-notch, offering a very quiet, intimate, and spacious ambiance. There's a peculiar piece of incorrect info on the back cover - Monty Alexander is listed as playing organ, when he's actually on piano. My copy plays back smoothly with a hint of faint surface noise at the start of each side.
In this rendition of "'Round Midnight," Ray Brown's bowed bass takes center stage, creating a truly stirring performance that shines amidst the other fantastic tracks. Milt Jackson has delivered yet another superb album with this one.
