You Had Better Listen is a studio album by the American trumpeter Jimmy Owens and the pianist Kenny Barron, recorded in 1967 and released on the Atlantic label.[1][2][3][4]
Reception
In his review on AllMusic, Andrew Hamilton notes: "The Jimmy Owens-Kenny Barron Quintet doesn't condescend like some jazz artists tend to do; casuals can groove, relate, nod their heads in approval and feel righteous about it. Owens plays some beautiful trumpet scales, while Barron keeps busy banging chord progressions."[5]
