BENNIE GREEN - SOUL STIRRIN' (180G 45RPM 2LP)

Bennie Green Soul Stirrin' on 180g 45RPM 2LP

Remastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note Master Tapes

The Definitive 45RPM Blue Note Reissue Series!

One of the more unique recordings in the Blue Note catalog, trombonist Bennie Green oversees a cool mix of swing, blues and mambo arrangements here, including vocal contributions by the leader himself and the great Babs Gonzales. With his bone tone still rooted in the swing era, Green was starting to take notice and become influenced by the emergence of soul and rhythm & blues. Case in point; inviting Gene Ammons to sit in on tenor. Adding Billy Root as a second tenor creates a frontline like no other while the legendary Sonny Clark handles the piano. Ike Isaac's bass and the brute-drumming of Elvin Jones round out the impressive sextet.
