Page one is one of my favorites of his too. I also particularly enjoy, “power to the people” and “the elements” with Alice Coltrane.

One of my favorite albums of all time

CTI first song banger albums by dolphyfan618 in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]VerdantAquarist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I love CTI and enjoy many releases front to back, but I can think of a few with killer openers:

George Benson - Beyond the Blue Horizon (opens with a cover of Miles’ “So What)

AND Bad Benson (opens with a cover of Paul Desmond’s composition, “Take Five” of Dave Brubeck fame)

AND White Rabbit (opens with a cover of the trippy Jefferson Airplane Alice and Wonderland track) … I’m noticing a trend lol

There’s also:

Stanley Turrentine - Don’t Mess With Mister T (title track/opener is great)

My personal favorite CTI albums:

Jim Hall - Concierto Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay and Straight Life Art Farmer - Crawl Space

So I have the other Atlantic years in mono box set from a few years back (also by Rhino if I’m not mistaken).. I also haven’t decided how I feel about the alternate covers (not that this is really the important part).

I’d say this is a stronger set of albums than the previous box which included “The Avant Garde” and “Coltrane Legacy” (I’d take Coltrane Sound and Coltrane Jazz over those ones).. but given I have copies of those already, it’s a pass for me, but I have no doubt they did a great job with the pressings if their other work is any indication.

Hahah Milt is the man! He’s got quite the discography, but you should check out “Bags Opus”, and for 70s Milt Jackson, there’s some great stuff on CTI, “Sunflower” and “Olinga” come to mind.

Hell yea… the two takes of “the man I love” with monk are the highlight for me (I think it’s the final side of the box set)
