ILLINOIS JACQUET
New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Audiophile Pressing - 45 RPM Series
Record Label: Classic Records/Epic BA 17033
Tenor saxophonist, Illinois Jacquet, was best remembered for his solo on Lionel Hampton's "Flying Home", critically recognized as the first R&B saxophone solo. Sideman for Charles Mingus, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Burrell and the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at half speed from the original source master tapes, then cut at 45 RPM on heavy weight, high quality all-virgin vinyl. Classic used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step.
Each Classic Records reissue featured all original artwork printed on heavy, high quality board, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings.
In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound and look on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find.

Review: Transferred from the original 3-track masters, this 1963 Epic jazz classic finds Jacquet's tenor fronting an all-star band featuring Roy Eldridge, Leo Parker, Kenny Burrell and Cecil Payne. Produced by the legendary John Hammond.
Jacquet is heard in prime form on a few heated romps, is warm on the ballads, does a close imitation of Lester Young on "Pucker Up," and is quite effective during his appearances on alto, especially on "Indiana." The rhythm section, led by pianist Sir Charles Thompson, is very much in the Basie tradition, and the other horns, playing Jimmy Mundy's arrangements, get to riff a lot behind the distinctive leader. The brevity of the performances (only one song exceeds 4 1/2 minutes) and the small amount of solo space given combative trumpeter Roy Eldridge, who would have been an ideal partner for Jacquet, are slight disappointments, but this set is worth picking up.
