ROLAND KIRK QUARTET/BENNY GOLSON 1964 UK MERCURY *MONO* - ONE PLAY - FLAWLESS
THE ROLAND KIRK QUARTET meets THE BENNY GOLSON ORCHESTRA1964 UK MERCURY (20 002 MCL) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING
Recorded at A&R Recording Studio, NYC, June 11/12, 1963
*ONE OF A SMALL COLLECTION OF JAZZ LPs I RECENTLY ACQUIRED WHICH I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING DAYS - ALL IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION
A real stormer – and one of Kirk's best records. Half the album is quartet material, recorded by a group that includes Harold Mabern on piano and Sonny Brown on drums. The other half features a large group that includes Mabern, Richard Davis, and Albert Heath. Golson's arrangements from this time are always a treat, and are always soulful, with a lot of respect for the soloist in the front.
Kirk's tone is impeccable – and the whole session sparkles on every track
