While doing my Prestige comps, I came upon this relatively obscure album with a pair of baritone forward sessions. I had never heard it and there didn't seem to be any evidence of it on blogs or torrents, so when I saw a reasonable copy on Discogs, I grabbed it. The copy wasn't quite as good as advertised, but some repeated cleaning and help from Isoptope RX yielded a decent rip.Side one is a 27 minute jam featuring Pepper Adams, Bill Evans, Idrees Sulieman, and little known trombonist Frank Rehack. The tune has it's high points and some lows as well, but overall it is well worth the time.
Side two is only half as long and features Cecil Payne, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Cleveland and Sulieman. These two tracks benefit from being more tightly arranged and more focused solos. Both are Gospel adaptions that make one wish that they were part of a fully realized project; they will come in handy when doing a jazz gospel compilation!
