     The Modern Jazz Disciples weren't a group for very long; 14 of
     the 15 masters they recorded for Prestige between 1959 and 1960
     are present on this compilation of their only two releases.
     Praised by Cannonball Adderley and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (the
     latter who helped get them their record deal), this fine
     quintet deserved a better fate. Leader Curtis Peagler is a
     Charlie Parker-influenced alto saxophonist, while the other
     major soloist, William "Hicky" Kelley, plays the rarely heard
     normaphone, a sort of valve trombone built shaped somewhat like
     an alto sax. Both men are strong soloists and also engage in
     some sensitive interplay on occasion. A snappy take of "After
     You've Gone" serves as a solid opener, while their arrangement
     of "My Funny Valentine" initially seems somewhat influenced by
     Gerry Mulligan's famous chart for his quartet with Chet Baker,
     but Peagler quickly finds his own sound. Pianist Wiliam "Billy"
     Brown is prominently featured on Peagler's soulful "Disciples
     Blues." The only real complaint with this CD is its omission of
     "Autumn Serenade" (from their second and final LP, Right Down
     Front), which will no doubt cause serious bop collectors to
     search extensively for the original album as well.
