@hardbop Yes hardbop...and that's an important thing. It's often forgotten by people who focus on soloing that the music is made by GROUPS. Even a great solo can only be great with a superb group supporting.
@heru1966 True, that's one element that makes the best 50s and 60s Jazz. This was not a permanent group like Miles's so that makes it even more amazing. I don't think Jackie and Art ever played together.
I just love Jackie's lines on this tune. So cool, so hip. Then you've got Sonny teasing the rythm behind him. It's all so clever. And of course, there's those Philly licks!
Unfuggin' real!!! Can you cats hear the theme song to "I Dream of Jeannie" in this...? What, ten years before that show ever aired on television? -- Way ahead of his time -- R.I.P. Sonny! Not to mention this is the coolest, hippest, and classiest album cover ever made. Keep snapping those fingers and tapping those feet! It don't get any better than this! Sonny's performing for God right now! Heaven must be a swinging place! God bless everyone!
Thank you so much for this post. Amazing song.

こんばんわseitenryuuさん、コメントをありがとうございます!
このアルバムをLPで持っていた時はA面ばかり聴いておりました(笑)
B面の演奏も悪くはないのですが・・・やはりA面2曲が最高だと今でも思っております。

I love Sonny's comping, it's an art in itself! But then it's not just his work, it's the unity of the whole band that makes it swing so nicely.

@heru1966 I read that Sonny liked comping as much as soloing.

Yes, I think this Jackie McLean's solo is very splendid.

pure, unadultered badness here. McLean is searing as usual... Used to play this number with my own hardbop band ! What a classic album.
