Title: I think Michael got it right...............
Review: I'd be tempted to give this a 5 star for the line up alone Ted Curson (trumpet)Eric Dolphy (flute)Bill Barron (tenor sax)Kenny Drew (piano)Jimmy Garrison (bass)Dannie Richmond, Roy Haynes,Pete (Sims) LaRoca (drums)What a group.But results are pleasing but not off the charts.Though as a record collector I like my original cop (wish I had blue wax-crazy expensive "1st of First" press but alas mine is plain black).A good session though for early Curson check out "The Fire Down Below".Curson is somebody who deserved more recognition but has had a very nice career in Finland where as a musical variety man on TV he even is a pitch man for a milk company (I had him sign a postcard of mugging with a glass of milk instead of signing the LP).Good stuff but get his "Fire" and Tears For Dolphy" first.Not one bad LP/Cd in the Curson catalog including latter "Pop Wine" and others.CheersChazz
