‘The Main Man’ dates from 1977 and is a blast. The versions of Donald Byrd’s ‘Jeannine’ and Eddie Harris’ ‘Freedom Jazz Dance’ put you in Jazz Dance heaven. Jefferson is in full flight and the arrangements especially the horns are blistering. ‘Body And Soul’ and ‘Moody’s Mood For Love’ are re-worked. Other classics include ‘Summertime’ and ‘Night Train’. Also, give ‘Bennie’s From Heaven’ a listen, a standard given a quizzical but jazzy take and title. Another Jefferson classic.
