oh yeah got that, before CDs were a thing!

Had the album forever, especially like the 2 ballads w paired down rhythm section, Violets For Your Furs and I've Got A Crush on You.
p.s. was recently watching Sammy Davis in classic Man Called Adam during jazz month on TCM, Nat dubbed Sammy's trumpet playing.

Rhythmically more straightforward than Parker (name me a player who isn’t), but I find Cannonball more soulful somehow?
