Wynton Marsalis - The All American Hero. Who’s Who In Jazz label, 1985.
This is interesting, I stumbled across this when picking up some classical selections from a seller I regularly purchase from. I have had this on cassette for years, but under a different name. This is the first recording of Wynton recorded live at the Bubba’s Jazz Restaurant in 1980. It has Art Blakey on drums, Bobby Watson on alto sax, Billy Pierce on tenor sax, Charles Fambrough on stand-up bass, and Jimmy Williams on piano. I really like this on the cassette I have, but hoping this vinyl version blows it away.
EDIT: Wow, this is a nice pressing. I’m smiling. I will also correct, I re-checked, and although this was the same live gig in 1980 I have on cassette, all these songs are different from the cassette. Nice.
