Ain't But A Few Of Us Left ... LP Pablo, 1982. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
The title's a bit self-pitying, but the music certainly isn't – and even at this late point in his career, the sound of Milt Jackson is coming across loud and clear – possibly more so, because Milt's firmly shaken off the mellower modes of his years with the MJQ!
