Description
THE JOHN COLTRANE QUARTET Africa/Brass (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series 2026 limited edition 3-track stereo LP, mastered by Matthew Luthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analogue tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. Africa/Brass was John Coltrane’s debut for Impulse! Records, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and produced by Bob Thiele. Originally recorded in 1961, the album expands Coltrane’s working quartet with a large ensemble, bringing the line-up to 21 musicians and giving the session its distinctive brass-led scale. Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner place Coltrane within a larger orchestral framework, with French horns and euphonium helping to create a sound that moved beyond the hard bop language most closely associated with him at the time. The album opens with the full side-length Africa, followed by Greensleeves and Blues Minor on Side Two. Preseneted inside a gatefold tip-on jacket picture sleeve with original cover artwork, hype sticker and factory sealed inside its perforated loose bag. Recommended)
