Jazzmen like French horn icon Julius Watkins and tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse come around only once in every lifetime, so it's good to have documents of their work. Jazz Modes ensemble represents the post-bop idiom at its most inventive peak, the late '50s. Baritone saxophonist Sahib Shihab is in on three of the eight selections, the still-underrated Gildo Mahones on piano, and Martin Rivera on bass throughout, Jimmy Wormworth and Ron Jefferson split drumming duties and Chino Pozo uses his hard hands on bongo drums for another four. All are originals written by the co-leaders. Watkins struggles very little to make the French horn sing and swing, and though his ability to get gigs might have been tough, there's nothing obtuse about his improvisational concept and chops. Rouse's soft but firm, introspective approach has always been a hallmark for the ultimate tenor sound this side of Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins. They merge beautifully for the mid-tempo but energetic boppish opener "The Oblong," Watkins leading while Rouse and Shihab tag along. Drum incursions by Wormworth and free sections intercede more freely swinging "1-2-3-4-0 in Syncopation," while the very Dukish "Things Ain't What They Used to Be"-like "This'n'That" is a juggernaut melody between the three horns in unison that is positively irresistible. A staling 4/4 ballad to easy swinging "Mood in Motion" contains a fervent Rouse solo, while a slow blues, "Knittin'," is tenor driven, but Watkins' French horn and Pozo's rock-solid hands-on-skin sound steals the spotlight. The three vocal pieces have Gilbert waxing wordlessly, wraith-like. "Blue Flame" has her ghost-like apparition wafting over swinging boppish lines, "Glad I Found You" is pronounced and excitable art over a frantic framework, "Princess" has her warbling over a slower, blusier motif. You may or may not find this attractive, but it's certainly a different approach. This, just short of 40 total minutes of bold, jazz-based creative sounds, is definitely recommended.

·                                     CONDITION:

·                                     THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)           WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)            Stereo  pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono  counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation (which does not exist on mono version) adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are (by definition) somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies  by a ratio of at least 10:1 (possibly, as much as 10:1)

(d)           The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(e)            The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(f)              Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·        COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP  (A SMALL PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-          Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.

-          Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.  (nothing significant)

-          The laminated cover has a few air 'bubbles' and wrinkles in lamination (this is a common problem with most laminated 50’s and 60’s covers

-           

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
