Elmo Hope Informal Jazz

Elmo Hope Informal Jazz: Prestige Mono Reissue Series Release Cut from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray and Pressed on 180g Vinyl LP at Quality Record Pressings

Pianist/composer Elmo Hope is joined on 1956's Informal Jazz by a literal dream team of jazz giants including John Coltrane (tenor sax), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Donald Byrd (trumpet), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). The 4-song hard bop set is anchored by the two Hope originals "Weeja" and "On It" which are featured here alongside the Jimmy Van Heusen penned "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and the popular jazz standard "Avalon." With a line-up like this, the title may be the only thing informal about it!
