Goin' West is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1962 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1969. It is a loose concept album inspired by Western music. It features pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Billy Higgins. The All About Jazz review by Colin Fleming stated "Goin' West, though nominally a country and western recording, moves us into the realm of folk music—bluegrass folk music and clippity-clappity cowboy tunes... Having said that, it would be hard to imagine Goin' West being a greater delight, a straight forward, unencumbered jazz delight—finesse jazz is a readily applicable moniker... Goin' West is an intriguing release nonetheless" - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a5DpNbwJe8&list=RD_a5DpNbwJe8&start_radio=1 #GrantGreen #BlueNote #HerbieHancocck #ReggieWorkman #BillyHiggins #Jazz #Country #Music #BlueNote

New York City R&B is a 1961 free jazz album originally recorded at a session by bassist Buell Neidlinger but subsequently reissued under joint names with the pianist Cecil Taylor. Writing for AllMusic, Scott Yanow commented: "The music is quite advanced for the period, although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; one can hear, even in abstract form, his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington." - Wikipedia #CecilTaylor #BuellNeidlinger #ArchieShepp #ClarkTerry #SteveLacy #RoswellRudd #CharlesDavis #DenisCharles #BillyHiggins #Jazz #FreeJazz #Music
