Strings Attached Update!

CD (Item 137552) Unicorn, 1983 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
A completely different album than most of Ira Sullivan's other records – warm, soulful, and filled with a sense of spiritual yearning that's really great! The format here has Ira blowing trumpet and flute with a "with strings" group that features 4 violins alongside the rhythm section, plus some especially wonderful work on soprano and tenor sax from John Alexander. And while you might expect the strings to bring out a sleepy side of the record, they really don't – and instead glide along on a pillow of air – supporting the tunes in a really nice way so that Ira's solos float right over the top, and Alexander's soar nicely with a searing edge. There's almost a hip 70s soul jazz feel to the record, especially on the track "The Kingdom Within You", which features vocals from Debbie Spring. Other tracks include "Our Love & Spirit", "Looking Glass Falls", "Late Nights", and "Wonderful Sound".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
