    I don't always check out suggestions people post. But in this instance I am glad I did.

              Simply a 'classic' - I thought I didn't like jazz guitar until I heard this.
              I would go further than this, Standordian. If I met someone who had never heard a note of jazz before, this is the record that I would choose to introduce them to get in to the music. For me. it is the best "entry level" jazz record there is. Great music which is extremely good to listen to and very evocative. The music is very accessible and I would be hard pushed to think of anything else better suited as an introduction to jazz.

              Regarding Joe's enthusiasm for Freddie Hubbard's "Hub-tones" , this record sums up the finesse of his playing for me. I think the "problem" with Hubbard's Blue Notes is the consistency which probably means that the fact there is so little between them means that they have not acquired the cult status they deserve. The opening "You're my everything" is a great example of Hubbard's fantastic ability on ballads. He was the trumpet master at this in my opinion yet he never seems as lauded as a ballader as say Ben Webster although of the same class. I like this album a lot and would also recommend "Ready for Freddie" as a great record.

                      I was hoping in vain to find youtube of Ed Jones's 1996 CD "Out Here" - one of the best of the British hard bop revival of the time, down to Winston Clifford's exceptional contribution on the drums making it much more than just another Blue Note '60s simulacrum, as was so often the case back then. Instead here is Ed with a younger group performing in Nottingham in 2014. Tim Giles is on drums here - I well remember seeing him aged about 13 and thinking, a new Tony Williams in the making - this little boy backing Stan Sulzmann and Nikki Iles, at the old Vortex! Ed is always at pains to stress Coltrane's influence on him, but I hear a lot of Joe Henderson in the way he limbers up, and creates rhythmic tensions against the beat. Always plays with commitment. Nice guy, Ed - under-appreciated, in my view.

                      Ed Jones (tenor) Ross Stanley (piano) Riaan Vosloo (bass) Tim Giles (drums)A great performance from this superb quartet including standards and new material ...
