Description

Original mono pressing A-8 Percussion Bitter SWeet. Rare Am-Par label indicates very first pressing on Impulse!.     what a lineup.  Dolphy,  Booker Little,  Mal Waldron,  Abbey Lincoln,  Art Davis.     vinyl is NM with some sleeve scuffs.  Cover is vg+ ,  no splits.  chipping on bottom seam  see pictures.    plays near mint.    LP is  one of the finest of drummer Max Roach's very productive career. The illustrious sidemen (trumpeter Booker Little; trombonist Julian Priester; Eric Dolphy on alto, bass clarinet, and flute; tenorman Clifford Jordan; pianist Mal Waldron; and bassist Art Davis, in addition to some guest percussionists) all have opportunities to make strong contributions and Dolphy's pleading alto solo on "Mendacity" is particularly memorable. Abbey Lincoln has two emotional and very effective vocals, but it is the overall sound of the ensembles and the political nature of the music that make this set (along with Roach's Freedom Now Suite) quite unique in jazz history.
