Eccelente

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

CAN NEVER get enuff of "Fox" but "Take Aim" was a weird one. Harold plays tres well as always but it's totally ruined by Clarence Jones's bass playing which is frankly fekin horrible. He was almost as bad on Harold's "In New York" (Riverside) with Kenny Dorham.

Harold always employed/worked with superb bassists (Leroy V., Curtis Counce, Herbie Lewis, Reggie Johnson, Jimmy Bond et al) so why he put up with Jones is a mystery.
