I like its redition better then Bobby Timmons' recordings and better then Adderly's version. I am a jazz avid listener and have several versions of this. An interesting version with singing is performed by Rickie Lee Jones. I love it too in her album Pop pop pop. Another track on the same Blackey's album (The big beat) is the Chess Player is also worth exploring. If you liked this try also Hank Mobley's Soul Station album you will adore it.Ahmad Zaatari,MD,FACShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03492502625337697200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350006305879979009.post-1629011871391467472011-11-11T19:55:37.111+01:002011-11-11T19:55:37.111+01:00LOVE IT.
