The Hunt is a 1977 jazz album of performances from 1947 by a nonet featuring saxophonists Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray. The title song is referenced in the book On the Road by Jack Kerouac.

"They ate voraciously as Dean, sandwich in hand, stood bowed and jumping before the big phonograph, listening to a wild bop record I had just bought called “The Hunt,” with Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing their tops before a screaming audience that gave the record fantastic frenzied volume."

Jack Kerouac - On The Road Part Two Chapter 1

"To the wild sounds of Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing “The Hunt,” Dean and I played catch with Marylou over the couch."

Help Me

Joni Mitchell’s marvellous album, ‘Court and Spark’ was released 50 years ago today. A masterful creation blending her unique folk style with a beautiful jazz infusion.

"'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taIking-ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom"
