Joe Newman – I Love My Woman (Black & Blue, 1979)

Joe Newman (tr); Hank Jones (p); George Duvivier (b); Alan Dawson (d) 

Recorded on July 20, 1979

Ably supported by a wonderful rhythm section, this Joe Newman LP is extra special because Newman recorded so rarely in the 1970s.  Newman's tone is distinctive and powerful.  He always struck me as a musician deserving greater recognition.

Black & Blue originally released the LP as I Love My Baby. The CD reissue is titled I Love My Woman.
