Negative Positive
Title: Sidewinder and Beyond
Review: If you're a fan of the Lee Morgan "Sidewinder" and "Rumproller" sessions, you should give this disc some serious consideration. The pairing of Virgil Jones on trumpet and Foster on tenor strikes a similar note, though there are clearly differences between Foster's and early Joe Henderson's sounds. In addition to several tunes that evoke the classic Morgan/Henderson pairing, you may quickly become a fan of the extended version of Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" featured on this set. Definitely worthwhile if you are starting to explore the playing of some solid musicians whose names don't feature so prominently in the popular history of jazz.
