Sonny Red - Out Of The Blue (Tidal)
Checking this out pending a forthcoming Tone Poet re Issue
More mainstrean niceness!
by Scott Yanow
Sonny Red, a fine altoist inspired by Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, never really made it in jazz, and some of his recordings are rather uninspired. However, that does not hold true for his Blue Note album, which has been reissued on this 1996 CD along with five previously unissued selections. Red, who is joined by pianist Wynton Kelly, either Sam Jones or Paul Chambers on bass, and either Roy Brooks or Jimmy Cobb on drums, never sounded better on records. He performs mostly little-known standards (along with six of his originals) and displays a fair amount of originality and a great deal of potential that was never really fulfilled. Recommended.

I can remember buying this for the first time as a young school lad. I was in London on a day trip and was super excited to buy this at bargain price from Our Price records in Tottenham Court Road. I got it home to find it was dished as hell 
. Brilliant album though.

I think someone posted this great 1989 album up last week, so been on my ‘hit list’.
A bit like Dire Straits, it took me a long old while to become a fan.
