Horace Parlan/Speakin' My Piece(Blue Note, 1960)
George Tucker's bass slowly invites the listener into a dark world, and Parlan's masterpiece "Wadin'" reveals its outline.
The first solo was by Stanley Turrentine, who is also a leading black tenor.
If you're a hard bop enthusiast, there's no reason not to pick up this Parlan's album.
It's an album you'll want to listen to on a quiet night.
