BLUE NOTE POET TONE SERiES

• 180-gram LP
• Plated and pressed at RTI
• Deluxe tip-on jacket

In the 1960s, Blue Note's roster of organists was second to none with leading Hammond B3 practitioners such as Jimmy Smith, Big John Patton, and Larry Young each honing their own distinctive styles on the instrument. Freddie Roach was first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebec's albums Heavy Soul and It Might As Well Be Spring and soon began his own run of leader dates for the label including the 1963 standout Good Move featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Eddie Wright on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums.

This soul jazz classic makes all the right moves with set highlights including "When Malindy Sings," an Oscar Brown song that was performed by Abbey Lincoln, and Roach's own church-rooted "Wine, Wine, Wine" and "On Our Way Up," an uplifting anthem that he wrote on the day of the historic March on Washington.
