Jimmy Ponder, Ron Carter, Ben Green - I Giganti Del Jazz, Vol. 28 (1981) [vinyl]

A rare piece of vinyl released on the Italian Curcio Records label in 1981. Jimmy is in top form joined by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Ben Green and pianist Warren Bernhardt. On the last track it is suggested according a few sources that saxophonist William Skinner and organist Jimmy McGriff also come into the grouping. Jimmy showcases four of his own compositions along with one from Sam Jones and another from Miles Davis. Overall, a worthwhile earlier addition to Jimmy Ponder's discography that truly demonstrates his virtuosity and the emergence of a great guitarist.
