This review is from: Jay Hawk Talk (Audio CD)

Most jazz fans will know Carmell Jones from his tenure with Horace Silver, but the trumpeter also made some excellent albums as a leader. "Jay Hawk Talk," recorded on 5/8/65 for the Prestige label, features Jimmy Heath on tenor sax, Barry Harris on piano, George Tucker on bass, and Roger Humphries on drums. The disc is split evenly between Jones originals (the title track, "Dance of the Night Child," and "Beepdurple") and standards. All of the tunes are thoroughly enjoyable, hard-swingin' numbers but I was hoping for something a bit more searching from Jones, more akin to his playing on "Song for My Father." Those interested in talking to "Jay Hawk" should note that this is a limited edition title, and it will fly away shortly. For further listening, also check out the recently issued "Mosaic Select" set featuring Carmell's recordings as both leader and sideman for the Pacific label.
