    THIS RELEASE FOR “BLUE NOTE” MOST FIRMLY ESTABLISHED HIM AS ONE OF THE PREMIER
MUSICIANS AND COMPOSERS IN MODERN JAZZ ;   IT IS TITLED “MAGNIFICENT” FOR   MANY
GREAT REASONS ––– THERE ARE SEVERAL PRECEDENTS SET HERE; THE INITIAL FORAY OUT OF
DETROIT FOR THE YOUNG PIANIST AND FELLOW MICHIGANIAN BARRY HARRIS, THE IDENTIFYING
   OF A PERSONALIZED SMALL GROUP, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL SOUND OF JONES, AND HIS ABILITY
TO EASILY BRING GREAT JAZZ ICONS TOGETHER AS A TEAM. WITH DETROIT’S BILLY MITCHELL ON
TENOR SAX, PERCY HEATH’S BASS, AND STELLAR DRUMMER MAX ROACH, THIS QUINTET MAKES
TRULY GREAT JAZZ MUSIC TOGETHER... THE RESULT IS THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM HERE OFFERED
IN GREAT CONDITION WITH SOLID, FRAMED COVER JUST SHOWING A SMALL PAPER TEAR / STAIN
MARK TO BACK UPPER SIDE WHILE THE BRIGHT DEEP GROOVE VINYL RECORD WITH FLAT EDGES
APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN VERY WELL-CARED WITH SOME INNER SLEEVE STORAGE IMPRESSIONS
THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE STRONG LISTENING EXPERIENCE . . . LABELS HAVE THE 767 LEXINGTON
AVE NYC ADDRESS ON BOTH SIDES, “RVG” , “EAR” AND MATRICES (“PLAYSTYLITE” SYMBOL) AND
MATRICES BN-1527-A / BN-1527-B IN THE DEAD WAX.
