Benny Golson The Other Side Of Benny Golson (Vinyl double album released as Blues On Down on Milestone Records, 1978. Originally released 1958) ****
Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: Ray's Jazz Bar (in Foyles of Charing Cross)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Strut Time
Gear costume: Are You Real?, This Night
Active compensatory factors: This is a double album made up of two late fifties albums that he recorded for Riverside: 1957's The Modern Touch and 1958's The Other Side Of Benny Golson.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Strut Time

These were his second and third albums and you can hear the development (all of my featured songs above come from The Other Side...).
You'll know Benny from the film The Terminal - the whole point of the Tom Hanks film is for the main character to get Benny's signature!
Where do they all belong? That's it for Benny, next up in the Jazz section is Freddie Hubbard.
