Listening Room – “Mustang!”
From "Mustang!" : 1966 : Blue Note BLP 4238
"Mustang!" is a straight ahead jazz session featuring some of the top horn players in the Blue Note stables at the time. Donald Byrd is joined by Hank Mobley and Sonny Red and all three play together wonderfully. Also sitting in on the session is McCoy Tyner, who adds some great piano lines to the hard bop mix. A refreshing record from 1966 that stays in the pocket while much of the jazz world was straying into free jazz and the avant-garde.
Players:
Donald Byrd - Trumpet
Hank Mobley - Tenor Sax
Sonny Red - Alto Sax
McCoy Tyner - Piano
Walter Booker - Bass
Freddie Waits - Drums
