Sunflower is an album by vibraphonist Milt Jackson recorded in 1972 and released on the CTI label.
[1] Assisting Jackson are trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, a star-studded rhythm section composed chiefly of Miles Davis alumni, and, on the first track, string and woodwind accompaniment, courtesy of Don Sebesky.
[2] In 1997, Sunflower was reissued on compact disc under Sony Music Entertainment through their catalog label Legacy Recordings and Epic Records.
[3] The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "While Sunflower sometimes feels more like a group session rather than a Jackson-led one, that's part of its exquisite beauty".
[4] Reviewing a 1979 LP reissue for The Los Angeles Times, jazz writer Leonard Feather assigned it 4 stars, noting that "[t]he reissues on CTI continue to remind us how much vibrant talent was brought together on that label in its pre-fusion days.
