Ricky Ford - Manhattan Blues (1989)

personnel :

Ricky Ford - tenor saxophone
Jaki Byard - piano
Milt Hinton - bass
Ben Riley - drums

This CD is a particularly well-rounded program, with tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford digging into three jazz standards ("In Walked Bud," "Misty" and "Half Nelson"), plus six originals that include tributes to Charles Mingus and Billy Strayhorn. In addition to the versatile pianist Jaki Byard (an underrated great) and drummer Ben Riley, Ford is joined by veteran bassist Milt Hinton, who is quite effective on this modern material.
