Cat No EJC55413

• MJQ vibraphone player Milt Jackson brought his instrument into the bop arena and also changed its tone, using a subtler vibrato than previous players

• "Plenty, Plenty Soul" features arrangements by Quincy Jones played by Jackson heading a hand- picked group: Joe Newman (tp), Jimmy Cleveland (tb), Cannonball Adderley (as), Frank Foster (ts), Sahib Shihab (bar), Horace Silver (p), Percy Heath (b) and Art Blakey (d). Noted critic Ralph Gleason rated this 1957 LP off the scale -- 5 stars plus

• The CD' s bonus tracks are from the previous year's "Ballads & Blues" which in addition to highlighting Milt Jackson's sensitive slow tempo work also includes imaginative solo work by John Lewis, Oscar Pettiford, Skeeter Best and Barney Kessel
