Down Home Reunion
LP (Item 59544) United Artists, 1959 — Condition: Very Good-
It's a little-known fact that Memphis had a huge influence on the sound of late 50s/early 60s soul jazz – probably because most of the city's best players had to leave and go either to Chicago or New York to make their name. This set's a great reminder of that fact, as it brings together an important batch of players, most of them only freshly departed from Memphis at the time of the session – an assemblage that includes Frank Strozier, Phineas Newborn, Booker Little, Louis Smith, George Coleman, and Calvin Newborn. The tracks are long open-ended blowing session tunes – very different than the usual format for just about every player involved, which also makes for quite a striking record. Titles include very long takes on "Blue N Boogie", "Star Eyes", "After Hours", and "Things Ain't What They Used To Be". (Original United Artists black label mono pressing! Side 1 has mark that click on tracks one and two. Cover has some wear, seam splitting, pieces of tape on the top seam, and a bit of pen on the back.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | ||||||
