[Rudy]

This is a really nice album. And atypical for Milt Jackson, given his earlier recordings prior to CTI. Milt, Freddie and Herbie all get some nice space to work in. And the ace rhythm section of Billy Cobham and Ron Carter is a treat.

One notable absence here is Hubert Laws--this album could be on a really short list of CTI albums he didn't participate in!

 

[Nemily]

I added this to my playlist almost immediately after you posted it last week, thank you, @Rudy ! I was thinking about getting a CD format although I couldn't figure out on the link, is the bonus track SKJ only offered via Qobuz?

 

[Rudy]

Qobuz has the CTI 40th Anniversary Edition version of the release, but there are other CD versions available (some may be imports). The Discogs link would list them all. I can look more when I get back home to a computer.

 

[Nemily]

I appreciate it, but that's not necessary.I just took a gander on Discogs and on second thought, I will be thrilled with the one on your link. This one is a bargain. A couple of of these are selling for $199 plus! I can't wait for it to arrive.

This is the version which Qobuz and others (like YouTube Music) are streaming, the 40th Anniversary edition with the bonus track "SKJ":

I have a CD copy of this I don't remember how long ago I bought it maybe sometime in the mid 2000s during my mass CD buying sprees but I remember really enjoying it it's now in my computer I'll have to listen to it more often

I like all of the Milt Jackson CTI titles. 👍
