A面1曲目”Tommy Hawk” アレンジはジョニー・マンデル。これに先立つ、1954年9月に録音されている、Chet Baker “Sextet” Pasific Jazz で、同じアレンジが使用されていた。
A面3曲目”Blues For Pablo”は、1957年5月のMiles Davis “Miles Ahead” で再演されておりマキュージック盤が前哨戦かの様だ。
Hal McKusick was born in Medford Massachusetts, June 1924.
He became a saxophone player in several big bands in the 1940s and and early 1950s in bands like Boyd Raeburn, Claude Thornhill and Elliot Lawrence.
Also his close colleagues were George Russell, Art Farmer, Bill Evans and Jimmy Guiffre.
In 1955 he formed his own quartet, featuring himself on the alto saxophone, Barry Galbraith on guitar, Milt Hinton on bass and Osie Johnson on drums.
Yesterday I introduced jazz workshop by Gary Burton.
This week I will post about RCA Jazz Workshop recording series.
This series was most smartest and innovative recordings in the mid-1950s.
Jack Lewis who was RCA’s A&R man in California in the early ‘50s produced seven albums.
Most of the Jazz Workshop albums have been reissued by RCA Spain and are available via Fresh Sounds.

I guess this series originated from the “Birth of The Cool” by Miles Davis in the late 1940s.
There were seven Jazz Workshop albums recorded in all:
– Al Cohn (May 1955)
– Manny Albam (December 1955)
– Hal Schaefer (October 1955)
– Billy Byers (December 1955)
– Hal McKusick (March 1956)
– George Russell (March 1956)
– John Carisi (April 1956)
Here is Johnny Carisi’s Jazz Workshop plays “Israel”.
