2006 Spreakers Corner's Pure Analogue Audiophile mastered, HQ pressing on 180g virgin vinyl -Milt Jackson made a number of solo albums during his long tenure with the Modern Jazz Quartet, but this long unavailable release, finally reissued, is one of his best as a leader. With young pianist McCoy Tyner and tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, Jackson puts together a great session, kicking off with his hard driving "Sonny's Blues." The leader's percussive but swinging style, plus the potent solos by Tyner and Heath, are all appealing. The only reservation about this issue is the deteriorated condition of the master tape from which it was made; it is rather noticeable on several tracks, though finding a mint copy of the original record is not a viable option for most collectors. Pick this one up in a heartbeat.

Vibraphonist Milt Jackson indeed presents himself in a new setting in this recording from 1964. Clearly Milt wanted to free himself occasionally from the straightjacket of the Modern Jazz Quartet. "Sonny's Blues" is proof of this: it is percussive and swinging, and without the eagle eyes of John Lewis in the background.

This time the young McCoy Tyner, who had worked with John Coltrane (A Love Supreme was recorded in the same month), was at the piano. Jimmy Heath, responsible for the drive not only as a composer but also as instrumentalist, and Bob Cranshaw on the bass, contribute important impetus to the short blues, ballad-like and bop themes.

None of the twelve numbers became a real jazz hit, but each has kept its own individual charm to this day. If you set value on an excellent product being excellently packaged then you are well advised to purchase this LP. Unlike the CD version in its jewel case, this album is now being re-released with its original gatefold cover from the truly beautiful Limelight series, for which the designer alone should have received a Grammy.

Milt Jackson was a legendary American jazz vibraphonist, which was mainly familiar with the Modern Jazz Quartet, one of the longest existing bands in the history of jazz. The popularity of these four musicians were, says Jackson, mainly due to the way it was improvised on classical music, which led to a combination of classic jazz and pop.
