Great Atlantic work from Mose – cut in the early years of his rediscovery by the hippie crowd, but with a tight small combo mode that recalls his classic 50s recordings for Prestige!

Herb Alpert with Lani Hall —
Steppin' Out ... CD Shout Factory, 2013. Used ... $3.99
A great groove from Herb Alpert – and a set that almost returns him back to his best fusion styles of the 70s!

That's a young Chet Baker on the cover of the record, and the set's a really beautiful experiment based on the music that Chet recorded back in the 50s – a reworking of some of the songs he sung and made his own, turned into versions with lyrics in Norwegian, and instrumentation that nicely ...
