#146/ CTI Part 1!! The move to A&M...and then on to his own label CTI!!!

Crisp clean, polished produced, packaged and labeled all to sell .... and sell it did.... Creed TAylors final realization materialized here at CTI.

Beautiful art... many time less covers... check...
GAtefold jackets.... check.....
the best players jazz ever produced....check...
Production that is impeccable..... check...
A sound that will never offend ..... check....
A product that will sell....check.....
The swing and groove were never in doubt, the freedom to improvise was not hindered but the message conveyed was always filtered and obscured enough to make even Milhouse Nixon feel comfy!!
Little protest present here...of course the times had changed a lot since his days at Bethlehem.
