5.0 out of 5 stars
Your "Invitation" to a Jazz Party, May 16, 2010
As I've searched the pages of Amazon for OJC CDs that are going out of print, I'm always surprised when I come across an absolutely classic jazz album that has never been reviewed. Milt Jackson's "Invitation" is a disc that I have enjoyed for years and I'm sad to see is being deleted. The album was recorded over three sessions in late 1962, and features an all-star cast including Kenny Dorham, Jimmy Heath, Tommy Flanagan, Ron Carter and Connie Kay. "Invitation" is a favortie for two reasons -- it has great improvisations and solos, but also some terrific small group arrangements by Heath. Fans of
The Thumper or
Big 6 (see my reviews for both) will be happy to get this "Invitation" in the mail.
