Great episode, album I really like but took away a lot more than I previously knew! Would love a Milestone label overview, a label I always keep an eye out for but don't actually know much about! Cheers!
Thanks. I will certainly talk about Milestone at some point. The short version is: Orrin Keepnews’ late 60s and 70s project after Riverside went kaput. His connections, taste and love for jazz meant the quality was high.
Clear, concise, and interesting. Many thanks
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Was surprised to see you reviewing this one, but I really enjoyed your perspective and background as always. Thanks!
Thanks. I have a fair amount of that type/era of music… but it hasn’t featured much lately as I’ve been on some other “kicks.”
That book "Hard Bop" is a classic! So much information in that slim book.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m only part way through it currently.
Love your channel
Thanks! I appreciate the support.
Until about 10 years ago, Milestone issues used to clog up the dollar bins. No longer. And rightfully so. This is a fine example.
Indeed. Keepnews never lost his nose for good jazz. That’s what happens when labels are run by fans of the music.

Great review. I'd love to see you review one of Michael White's records now 😉
Thanks. Oddly enough I do have one of his, which I like better than his work here!
