Gratitude to you in abundance ABC Jazz. Obligatory listening as this is an essential album in any worthwhile jazz collection. If in doubt, listen to this programme and you'll be sure to agree with the Jazzbear! I'll be sitting back with a heart-warming glass of red so why not join me? You'll be hearing one of the world's pre-eminent musicians at the top of his game with incomparable backing from Wilbur Ware, along with astonishing support on the traps from Elvin Jones. Unmissable folks.
