4.0 out of 5 stars Why no U.S. release?, June 11, 2008

This 1961 set was the first Fuller put down for the Impulse! label, a nice straightforward hard bop effort by a great ensemble. Tracks 3, 4 and 6 are all originals by Fuller, the standout being "The Clan." This is a superb album that deserves a release in the United States.

This review is from: Soul Trombone (Audio CD)

This is another album proving Impulse was so much more than a free jazz label.

This early issue, A-13, is exquisite hard bop features great Fuller compositions, "Ladies Night," with masters like Jimmy Cobb and Freddy Hubbard backing the valve man. The prize has to be their take on Sinatra's "Wee Small Hours." The impossible is done: one of the most potently depressing songs is turned into a whirling jam.


Why my fuss about the catalog number? This was one of the first released on the amazing black and orange, probably 1961, as this numbering system was only used the first few years of the label. I found it on wax yesterday and it sits on my shelf, spine strong as iron and gloss in tact. Hats off to the golden age of vinyl.
