Horace Parlan Speakin' My Piece On 200g Mono LP

Pianist Horace Parlan had found a level of relative comfort during 1960-61, recording with the same four musicians on five distinct Blue Note albums under various leader's names; three of them, his. With Parlan’s relaxed but subtly swinging style holding it together and Big Stan’s thick tone, peppered with blues and soul inflections, songs such as “Wadin,” “Oh So Blue” and the title tune sizzle. An interesting inclusion is a quick revisit by Parlan to his future jazz standard “Up In Cynthia’s Room,” which he had debuted on his trio set, Movin’ And Groovin’, just five months prior. As part of the Classic Blue Note Signature LP Reissue Series this reissue was mastered and cut from the original analog master tapes on Classic’s ALL TUBE MONO cutting system and featuring authentic tip on jackets with film laminate front covers.
