This is one of those lovely ballads that shows just how underated Land really was. First recorded on his 1958 album Harold in the Land of Jazz, the tune leans into his warm, slightly dry tenor sound and his gift for melodic storytelling. Unlike the hard‑charging bop lines he’s often associated with, “Slowly” unfolds with a patient, almost conversational phrasing that feels closer to Lester Young than to the West Coast firestorms happening around him. Definitely lissen to this one if you haven't already. On Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. - https://ffm.to/coffeehousejazz

From Freddie Hubbard's much underrated Atlantic Records period we have this fantastic composition from the master trumpet, This tune has all the hallmarks of Freddie's composition style. Alternating Rhythms, hard bop driving rhythm and changing tonal centers. His playing is also off the hook here along with his Blue Note running buddy James Spaulding providing searing solos. Some consider this Freddie's greatest album, what do you guys think? On Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. - https://ffm.to/totaleclipse60smodaljazz
