Between 1960 and 1963 Texas tenor Curtis Amy (1927-2002)made six superb albums for Dick Bocks Pacific Jazz label, three of which,Groovin Blue, Way Down, and Tippin on Through, are included here. They werepart of Bocks recognition of the emergence on the West Coast scene of a moregroove-based, harder swinging approach than the cooler, considered style thatpreceded it. He chose well. Years of semi-obscurity in L.A. dance bands andorgan combos had made Amy a thoroughly seasoned, assertive and inventive playerin the mould of fellow tenor, Harold Land; these Pacific albums established himas a major exponent of the new music revitalizing West Coast jazz.

For these recordings, which also showcased his considerablecapacity as a writer and his sensitive way with ballads, Amy was surrounded bysome of the finest young lions on the scene, creative soloists who combinedsoul and imagination with the ability to swing hard. Adding a timeless lustreto this consistently engaging music is the sterling work of trumpeters CarmellJones and Marcus Belgrave, vibists Bobby Hutcherson and Roy Ayers, pianistsFrank Strazzeri, Vic Feldman and John Houston, valve trombonist Roy Brewsterand outstanding rhythm section men like Frank Butler, Lawrence Marable, JimmyBond and George Morrow.
