There's always one album that overperforms in it's audition. I was toying between 3 jazz and 2 rock or 4 jazz and 1 rock. Looks like it's going to be 3.5-1.5.

Dig this. Classic hard bop quartet LP, each man among the very best on his instrument then.
Sadly Gordon, Clark, Warren and Higgins all got snared by heroin, so prevalent in the '50s/'60s jazz scene.

Dexter Gordon, 'Love for Sale' from Go (1962).

If he'd carried on making music like this after the TV special and ditched the colonel the story may have had a different ending.

You'll hear no complaints from me Richard! 4 of my choices in the #5albums50s60s2 top ten and the 5th in the top 20—and a very worthy number 1 (which I didn't vote for because I missed it on the spreadsheet somehow!)
My heart, though, belongs to the album at number 7...

He made this just after the TV special and for me it's the best record he ever made. It was the template for the sound he would try to develop onstage in Vegas. If he had continued in this vein who knows what would have happened.
