One Foot in the Gutter

March 22, 2008 in Jazz by lpcoverlover

Here’s a great jazz album! “One Foot in the Gutter” by The Dave Bailey Sextet on (Columbia) Epic Records. The lineup here is amazing with Clark Terry on trumpet, Junior Cook on tenor, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Horace Parlan on piano, and Peck Morrison on bass. The songs are: One Foot In The Gutter; Well You Needn’t; and Sandu. Blue Note, Riverside and Prestige weren’t the only labels putting out driving, hard bop jazz classics in the early sixties.Â In addition to this try Bailey’s “Two Feet and the Gutter” and “Gettin into Something” also on Epic.
