I was babysitting for my late God son. I was maybe 13. This came on Sid McCoy in Chicago. My little puberty pals never, ever got it. Jazz lovers are chosen.
Gwyn WilliamsI bought the vinyl LP in Cardiff in 1960/61 when life was easy, never dreaming that an unspeakable english Tory women would one day turn it all to shit. A mate who played tenor in a Cardiff night club thought it almost a perfect album, not one bum note anywhere. Ah the bliss of growing up then to music like this.
This was a very early if not the first album by Cannonball. He is responsible for a hotter live performance. However it is this album and his solo along with his brother Nat that I remember as a very young person.
