About 50 years ago I bought this record titled "Fantastic Frank Strozier" at a swap meet for fifty cents, and I was like who is this guy Frank Strozier? I'd never heard of him before but recognized all the other players on the album, Booker Little, Paul Chambers, Wynton Kelley, and Jimmy Cobb, as names I had seen many times before on albums by John Coltrane, and Miles Davis, and so I figured Frank must be pretty talented, and guess what? He's more than that, and this is a record that anybody who loves Jazz should have in their collection for sure!
Frank Strozier is now 88 years old, and I hope he's still playing!
