Harold Vick, Steppin’ Out!, 1963 on Blue Note

Debut album from Harold Vick (as a leader), recorded Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with a wonderful supporting cast: Blue Mitchell, Grant Green, John Patton, and Ben Dixon.

Vick would also go on to play with folks like King Curtis and Aretha Franklin, and passed in 1987. Great album of early 60s Blue Note jazz.

My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2022.
