• Track Listing

NYC jazz shrine the Village Vanguard hosted this stellar 1985 set featuring Joe on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass and Al Foster on the drums. That’s one heckuva trio, and they’re in peak form on "Boo Boo’s Birthday," "Soulville," "Cheryl," "The Bead Game," "Y Ya La Quiero" and more. What a joy this is to spin, too: all-analog mastering, from the original tapes, on 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging! Blue Note.
