The LA 4 - Just Friends: Concord Jazz Direct To Disc Recording LP (Concord Jazz CJD-1001) Limited Edition

1979 Direct To Disc LP from Jazz legends LA4. Direct To Disc LP's are vinyl only albums cut live straight to a mastering lathe with no tape involved. In doing this, the recording process skips the recording to tape, mixing down to another tape and mastering on the lathe and in doing so gives the listener a first generation analog audiophile quality recording.

The cover on this LP is VG to VG- with a crease on the top left and some shop wear to the silver sleeve.

The vinyl is VG, some surface noise but not significant.

Apologies on increased shipping costs, especially internationally. eBay now takes a commission on shipping costs as well as the selling price and international shipping has reached a point where this generally reflects the real cost of mailing and fees.

The L.A. 4 were:
Bud Shank - Saxophone [Alto]
Ray Brown - Bass
Laurindo Almeida - Guitar
Jeff Hamilton - Drums

Tracks are:
1. Nouveau Bach 6:53
2. Carinhoso 4:16
3. Just Friends 7:21

1. Love Medley: Love For Sale / Love Walked In 8:18
2. Spain 8:28

A M G says of Just Friends:
On this rewarding set, the L.A. Four (altoist Bud Shank, acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jeff Hamilton) perform a Bach melody, "Carinhoso" (originally recorded by Shank and Almeida back in 1954), "Just Friends," a "Love" medley ("Love for Sale" and "Love Walked In"), and Chick Corea's "Spain." Shank sticks exclusively to alto for the date, leaving his flute in its case, and the result is a more high-powered program than usual. Recommended.

A M G says of The L.A. 4:
Altoist/flutist Bud Shank and Brazilian acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida first teamed up in the 1950s to create music that predated but strongly hinted at bossa nova. In 1974, they reunited to form the L.A. Four with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Chuck Flores. With Shelly Manne and later Jeff Hamilton replacing Flores on drums, the L.A. Four recorded eight albums for Concord through 1982, breaking up shortly afterward. Their mixture of cool-toned bop, Brazilian-oriented music, and ballads was quite attractive.
