Junior's Cookin'

Junior's Cookin' is the debut album led by American jazz saxophonist Junior Cook which was recorded in 1961 for the Jazzland label.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Jim Todd stated: "The result, while not essential listening, is a satisfying and honest set that provides an appealing portrait of both Cook and Mitchell, two central, although not seminal, figures in the development of hard bop."
