A Plea for Sanity is an album by trumpeter Jack Walrath which was recorded in 1981 and released on the Stash label in 1982.[1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This is one of the best showcases for Jack Walrath's trumpet playing. ... The music falls into the wide area of post-bop, more advanced than hard bop but not as free as most avant-garde music. Walrath, who has always had a gift for coming up with memorable song titles (including on this LP "Li'l Stinker," "A Plea for Sanity," and "At Home in Rome"), gives each selection its own purpose and his solos are full of spirit and consistent invention. Recommended".
