Norman Simmons Quintet
I'm... The Blues
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1981 Original Featuring Clifford Jordan, Jimmy Owens, Vernel Fournier, Lisle Atkinson And Al Harewood. An Extremely Well-Recorded Album Featuring The Superb Chicago-Based Pianist With A Group Of Outstanding Side Men. Clifford Jordan Makes His Recording Debut On Alto Sax And Al Harewood's Cymbal Work Has Never Sounded Better Than On This Very Natural - Sounding Jazz Album; The Drummer Does Not Have Ten Foot Long Arms, The Piano Keyboard Is Not 15 Feet Long As On Many Jazz Recordings. Rather The Group Appears As A Cohesive Unit Between Your Speakers. Simmons Says Of Jimmy Owens' Trumpet Solo On "Good Humors" That It "Sparked That Track Into A 12½ Minute Take. I Could Never Have Deprived Myself Or Jazz History Of One Single Note By Edit. How We Did It Is How You Get It....First Take."
