Ripped from an original LP, and although we are copin with some fried chicken in parts, the music is gorgeous.
Enjoy!!!
Roosevelt Wardell was an R&B singer before he became a jazz pianist. Altoist Cannonball Adderley, who by then was also acting as a Riverside A&R, discovered Wardell in Los Angeles while he was playing with Dexter Gordon. He quickly arranged for the recording of “The Revelation”, Wardell’s debut. An authoritative performer, the young pianist showed a maturity beyond his years, developing well-constructed, imaginative lines and absorbing his formative influences into an individual style devoid of empty flourishes or gimmicks, in which his roots and swing are ever present.

Looking forward to this one as I've never heard it. Many thanks for posting this rare item.
ReplyDeleteyup, never heard of this either. I've never been let down by one of those "Cannonball Adderley Presents" lp's before, though, so this looks exciting. Thanks for this! And, on behalf of everyone else with young kids, I sympathize with your MF snafu!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Poppa.
ReplyDeleteI heard, obviously, Cherokee, that shows a very good personal interpretation, out of conventions of pianists. It chalenges everyone. It seems that something disturbed its ripping at the end of this track.
And thanks to our good friend Blbs, mainly for the rear cover.
I cleaned it up. Do I have permission to post the link here in comments?
ReplyDeleteI've cleaned up many records posted in this forum.
It seemed when I heard it that the trouble at the end of Cherokee wasn't concerned to clicks or pops but rpm of the pickup.
ReplyDeletenew one for me--- looks good
