5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz Heaven, August 9, 2002

This is a great album! Between Benny Golson's tunes and Milt Jackson's playing this thing really achieves liftoff - it'll carry you right to jazz heaven if you listen. Afternoon in Paris, Whisper Not, and I Remember Clifford are especially soulful - I think this is a candidate for being the definitive version of Golson's tribute to Clifford Brown. Milt Jackson's solo is straight from the heart and totally captures the feel of this piece. Brilliant and moving. With Bennie Golson, Paul Chambers, Connie Kay, Art Farmer, and Tommy Flannagan - what a lineup! A classic late 50's Blue Note album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme recording by Milt, November 19, 2004

By 

Jack Dempsey (South Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bags' Opus (Audio CD)

This is an excellent release, well worth picking up in this edition. The regular edition, from what I can tell anyway, is long out of print. So, in that respect, I guess you have no choice anyway. But, besides that fact, you have the music.

Get this, Art Farmer, Connie Kay, Paul Chambers, Tommy Flanagan. Can you imagine that roster? It's here gents (and ladies). Opus is right, and Milt, as usual, delivers the goods from start to finish. This is absolutely sublime and you cannot, and I mean cannot, do without this any longer. Pick this up and force yourself to pay these big bucks. I promise you, you will not regret it, you will thank yourself, and then you will kick yourself for not having done it far, far sooner.
