Many of vibraphonist
Milt Jackson's Atlantic recordings are long overdue to appear on CD, and that certainly includes
Bean Bags, which features a meeting with the great tenor
Coleman Hawkins. Assisted by a top-notch quartet (pianist
Tommy Flanagan, guitarist
Kenny Burrell, bassist
Eddie Jones, and drummer
Connie Kay),
Bean Bags romps through "Stuffy," "Get Happy," a pair of
Jackson originals, and two fine ballads, with "Don't Take Your Love From Me" being particularly memorable.
