0:54 AM Jay Thomas w/Oliver Groenewald Newnet “Yama” — I Always Knew NEW RELEASE “He as well is among the few musicians in jazz to be featured on both trumpet and saxophone, and in his case, play them both with virtuosity. His skills are as well applied fondly to the flute, and clarinet. “ “The opening salvo is a deeply emotive take on Lee Morgan's "Yama." Thomas' original, lyrical sound is front and center on any instrument, but trumpet was where the journey began for him, and there seems to be a fluid stream of consciousness to his solos on that instrument. Pianist John Hansen's work is as well strong, and free flowing. “ [Jay Thomas With The Oliver Groenewald Newnet: I Always Knew, Paul Rauch, All About Jazz]

Originally debuted at Carnegie Hall on January 23rd, 1943, the composition received mixed, if not critical feedback.
