Description
ELMO HOPE SEXTET "INFORMAL JAZZ"
ULTIMATE AUDIOPHILE PRESTIGE REISSUES FROM ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS. SOME OF THE MOST COLLECTIBLE, RAREST AND BEST SOUNDING RUDY VAN GELDER RECORDINGS EVER MADE. ALL CUT FROM THE ANALOG ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES BY KEVIN GRAY. PRESSED ON 180 GRAM VIRGIN VINYL AT STATE-OF-THE-ART PLANT QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS AND PLATED BY GARY SALSTROM. THICK CARDBOARD STOCK.
"ALTHOUGH THE ALBUM IS TITLED "INFORMAL JAZZ", REALITY DICTATES THAT A GOOD DEAL OF THOUGHT AND CARE WENT INTO THE RECORDING SESSION. THE DYNAMIC DRUM AND BASS TEAM OF PHILLY JOE JONES AND PAUL CHAMBERS IS "HARDLY THE KIND OF RHYTHM SECTION PLAYING HEARD AT A JAM SESSION, EXCEPT POSSIBLY IN HEAVEN." AND HOPE'S SOLO SPOTS ARE THE BEST PART OF THE RECORD--"IT IS A STETCH TO IMAGINE AN 'INFORMAL' RECORDING SESSION WHERE EVEN MATERIAL AS COMPLICATED AS THIS IS PLAYED". ALL MUSIC GUIDE
