First time I had heard Freddie. The group presented another dimension of the trumpet/sax + rhythm bop format, thanks to Eric, and I was really thrilled by Freddie’s airiness. A revelation. The 2nd exposure was the O. Nelson album on Impulse. Less revolutionary trumpet playing, more mainstream. After that, I am ashamed to say, I lost interest, although buying all the Blue Note albums, just to shelve them. I played one side of “Open Sesame” only a few weeks ago! It was not bad really, but nothing of the thrill which “Outward Bound” gave me.
I wonder whether these first exposures in one’s youth are bound to leave ever lasting impressions, throughout one’s active listening live.
I wish you and crew a jazzy New Year
