60s recording in NY, debut album by Florida-born bassist "Sam Jones." Featuring "Blue Mitchell" on trumpet, "Jimmy Heath" on tenor, "Nat Adderley" on cornet, "Charles Davis" on baritone, "Bobby Timmons" on piano, "Keter Betts" on bass, "Louis Hayes" on drums, and others. A masterpiece that captivates with its soulful, jet-black groove centered around a bold and distinctive front line. You'll be thrilled by the superb solos, a hallmark of a bassist's leadership, and enjoy Sam's avant-garde melodic lines in tracks like "Just Friends" and "So Tired." This is a cool and stylish record that showcases the funky side of a solid bassist with excellent timing, a true testament to his skill. Released in 1975, Victor (SamJ-6079), high-quality Japanese pressing. ** Important: Please read carefully. The record surface is in good condition, but the jacket shows signs of wear and tear, so please consider purchasing only if you understand that this is a used record. #SamJones #NatAdderley #BlueMitchell #JimmyHeath #BobbyTimmons #ModernJazz #FunkyJazz #ModalJazz #CoolJazz
