Samples: Dr. Lonnie Smith - Jungle Soul

JazzTimes (p.73) - "JUNGLE SOUL fuses intricate rhythms and soul jazz. Spare, sinewy and taut, it has a quietly insistent force, an undercurrent that pulls all -- including the listener -- along with it."

"Best Coast Jazz" w/ Clifford Brown, Herb Geller, Max Roach, Kenny Drew, and Curtis Counce on EmArcy.
High quality solos by Clifford, Kenny, and especially Max. ... and a nice recording to top it off.

Classic Dewey, and another ear-opener, with Ted Daniel on trumpet, Jane Robertson on cello, Sirone on bass, the sadly underappreciated Eddie Moore on drums, and early burning Leroy Jenkins on violin.

Another classic from Sonny!

Samples: Sonny Rollins - The Bridge

Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Jim Hall (guitar); Bob Cranshaw (bass); Ben Riley, Harry T. Saunders (drums).

Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, New York, New York on January 30 & February 13 & 14, 1962.

Reviews:
Down Beat (3/97, p.59) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "Rollins' 'first comeback' from '62 has alreadcy appeared on CD (THE QUARTETS FEATURING JIM HALL), replete with extra material which is for some reason not included here. the music is unquestionably masterful, with the lean rhythm section...and Hall and Rollins working magic together..."

Down Beat (7/5/62) - 5 Stars (out of 5)
