audiofile said:That's a pretty heavy statement; to say Herb's Midnight Sun is one of the greatest JAZZ albums when we're talking about everything from Louis Armstrong to Duke Ellington, From Coleman Hawkins, to Count Base, from Charlie Parker to John Coltrane, and from Miles Davis to Bill Evans and everything in between. And considering that Midnight Sun is not even an "all out jazz album." It's more of an easy listening pop jazz Chris Botti type jazz album. I never understood what was so great about that album. And I have to sit through Herb painfully dredging out I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face....
Keep everything Herb did after 1975, and don't anyone touch my TJB collection! I want it all! Nothing Herb did after 75 can hold a candle to the TJB records.
You are correct...but it is a fine jazz effort, which I rarely listen to...
