A great early session from Chicago trumpeter Ira Sullivan – a very strong player who came out strongly in the late 50s as one of the big jazz hopefuls from the Windy City. This set has Ira backed by the Billy Taylor Trio – presented by Billy on ABC, where the Taylor trio was recording at the time. Tracks have a nice open-ended feel, and a lot more drive than Billy's own work at the time, and the best numbers feel like they were recorded for a Prestige blowing session. Titles include "Strolling", "Leslie's Gauge", "You Don't Know What Love Is", and "So In Love". (dustygroove.com)

Wonderful!! Many thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks deGallo all these players are amazing, can't get enough Taylor or Sullivan.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have never seen this one before. I am always happy to have something "new" from Sullivan. Great post!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's ok. I found it stuck way back in a closet in a box with some other LPs. Didn't know I had it. Looked like someone played frisbee with it then left in in the street to be run over by traffic all day. Thanks to iZotope RX4 Advanced I was able to get a pretty decent transfer.
ReplyDeleteOh Goody! Upgrade time! Thank you sir!
ReplyDelete"...a lot more drive than Billy's own work at the time...' That's good news! Thanks for this.
