Jack Wilson Quartet – Ramblin' (Red LP Vinyl)

A pre-fame Roy Ayers appears here as a sideman, years before his funk and soul innovations would make him a household name in jazz and beyond. Wilson's 1966 Blue Note session captures a West Coast hard bop sensibility with Ayers' vibraphone adding warmth and texture throughout. For collectors, the colored vinyl pressing makes an already rare chapter in both men's stories something worth displaying as much as playing.
