Wardell Gray - Stoned
Hook's Gems has dug into his deep treasure chest and generously shared one of the few remaining MRL releases so far unseen at the shack. Thanks to him, we're now down to only 11 lions (see them here) that have yet to be bagged on the Shad safari!
Most recordings on this compilation were produced in the late 40s by Shad for his first label, Sittin' In With Records, which he co-owned with his brother Morty. Reissued by Mainstream in the 60s as A Look At Yesterday, the name was shortened for its recycling in the MRL series. Always one to capitalise on his back catalogue, Bob also released this in MRL's 800 series, which were basically 2-fer-1 repackages of the 300 series - mainly the 300 reissues of 60s jazz.
Enjoy this document of some of the finest names in jazz during the dawn of the bebop and be sure to say thanks for the hook up!

Hi Ivor,
Thanks for your support but due to the shad shack policy, the only way to get on the blogroll here is to share an album from the Mainstream records catalogue (we'd even stretch it to accept Bob's TIME, Shad, Brent, Jade or Sittin' In With labels).
Also, when I went to your blog yesterday, my anti-virus picked up 2 iFrame attacks (with No-Script running even!) so I was reticent to send our valued readers your way at all.
However, it seems this was issue rectified in the last 48hrs and when I visted today, there was no warning at all.
Thus, I will publish this backlink as embedded in your comment as a quid pro quo and once again thank you for your support and wish you all the best - you've got some nice links in your aggregator.
Yeah, what he said.
