This album became the stuff of legend after the A&M Horizon label went out of busines just weeks after its release. The Steve Gadd feature on "Seven Steps to Heaven" has been transcribed and passed down to generations of drummers, and the versions of "Girl Talk" (with original lyrics to replace the Bobby Troup trops) and "Blue Daniel" (with original lyrics that became the song "Life's a Lesson") have been covered often.  http://bensidran.com/album/the-cat-and-the-hat

  1. One of my favourites is his Concert For Garcia Lorca.
    But my copy of this one is long misplaced.
    A re-up of Cat and Hat will be much enjoyed.
