Mike's busy in Europe so Pat goes solo with a look at controversial jazz label CTI.  A lynchpin of the early seventies, record buyers loved the artwork, high production values and impeccable musicianship, but hard-core jazzbos and critics were suspicious that owner Creed Taylor was putting too much sugar into the mixes, not to mention those sprinklings of Stravinsky!  Freddie Hubbard – FIRST LIGHT; George Benson – WHITE RABBIT: Paul Desmond – FROM THE HOT AFTERNOON; Milt Jackson – SUNFLOWER;  Grover Washington Jr. – A SECRET PLACE; Stanley Turrentine – SALT SONG.
