A superb session from the great tenor player on the lesser known Argo label. This album features an excellent backup quartet with Tommy Flanagan on piano and Kenny Burrell on guitar. The album is beautifully recorded by Rudy van Gelder, who did many of the best titles for Argo (the jazz subsidiary of Chess). The program includes a mix of ballads like Star Eyes and You're My Thrill and more up-tempo pieces such as Lester Leaps In (a splendid version of this classic).
Musicians:
Illinois Jacquet, tenor & alto sax
Kenny Burrell, guitar
Tommy Flanagan, piano
Willie Rodriguez, latin drums
Wendell Marshall, bass
Ray Lucas, drums
Selections:
Side 1:
1. When The Dreamboat Comes Home
2. Desert Winds
3. Star Eyes
4. Blues For The Early Bird
Side 2:
1. Lester Leaps In
2. You're My Thrill
