Cool Jazz never got cooler

"This is the apex of cool. Milt Jackson and Frank Wess - vibes and flute are a natural fit and no instruments are cooler than the flute and vibes in the hands of masters. The sad part is the CD is way too short. But if you want a real study of the flute in jazz couple this with Heavy Flute - the cool and the hot. Your CD player will never sound better."

Bags swings again

"Back when I was a college kid at SF State in the '60's, this was one of my favorite jazz albums. Still is. Glad to see I can replace my old lost disc with a remastered CD. These guys swing. They groove. They are together musically. There are briliant solos altho' this is not a hot licks session album. They make music. It cooks. Listen to it. Learn something about jazz when it's right. You won't find a clearer statement than this."
