Eric Kloss - Essence [new 24/48 vinyl rip]

Even better than the last and in 24/48 Flac too!

 Eric Kloss - Essence
Muse 5038, 1974

A1 Love Will Take You There 15:38
A2 Affinity 8:57
B1 Essence 16:36
B2 Descent 3:40

Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone – Eric Kloss
Bass – Buster Williams
Drums – Ron Krasinski

Piano, Electric Piano – Mickey Tucker
Trumpet – Marvin 'Hannibal' Peterson

 I have always really adored this one and personally I think the new rip sounds audibly better. Kloss plays tenor on side one, alto on side two. The more I examine Eric's work, the more I've come to believe that tenor was his strongest axe; his alto work is more Cannonball influenced and as such less original, while his tenor work seems to express his personal voice more convincingly. The rhythm section is exceptional, Buster and Mickey both shine. I remember that at the time, for me, the revelation of this album was Marvin 'Hannibal' Peterson who sparkles throughout this modal post-bop romp.

    Thanks Chris, I'm encouraged you could hear the diff -- I'm still a couple steps behind the rest of my brothers here, but I am closing the gap.
