Junior's Blues by the Junior Mance Trio
Until I recently purchased a three album compilation I knew of Junior Mance but I didn't know his music (I did own Buddy and the Juniors at some point in the past, but it didn't really grab my ear in any way). I'm sure glad I decided to explore. Mance's style has the easy fluidity of a player who was raised with the blues and carried that baggage with him going into jazz. Junior's Blues feels like some of the best Gene Harris records and considering how much I love Gene, that's saying something. A winner.
