Description

The Cats; RVG STAMPED WITH COLTRANE, BURRELL, FLANAGAN NEW JAZZ 8192 VINYL VG+ “A MUST-BUY FOR THE AGES”


 

COVER: VGOOD+. Damage on lower right corner has been repaired. A few places where lamination is separating from the cover, but they are small. Two-inch split along top RIGHT. Flaking along top and bottom but very limited. Name written on rear. Spine is very clean. Overall, the cover has great original color and no rubbing or writing. Great picture of cats.

VINYL – VGOOD+. THIS IS A VAN GELDER PRESSING. IT IS CUT SO THAT NEEDLE MARKS DON’T COME THROUGH VERY DISTINCTING. THE SOUNDSTAGE IS GREAT.

PERFORMANCE – AS NOTED IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, THIS IS AN EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE OF HARD BOP FROM DETROIT BASED SUPERSTARS AND COLTRANE BEFORE THEY MADE THEIR WAY EAST. IT IS NOT TO BE MISSED. IT EVEN HAS ITS OWN CITATION ON WIKIPEDIA.

VINYL. Very Good Plus. Side 1. Overall, the vinyl appears very clean although probably played a lot. It has long needle mark from 9o’clock to 12 o’clock that seems to be mostly hairline. There are several smaller, not very noticeable scratches that are not deep and do not sound.

Side 2 has a long needle mark in the same location. There are a lot of marks around the spindle hole, indicating a lot of playing of Side 1.

 

FROM THE WIKIPEDIA CITATION:

The Cats is a jazz album by Tommy Flanagan and jointly credited to Flanagan, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, and Idrees Sulieman, released in 1959 on New Jazz, a subsidiary label of Prestige Records.[2] It was issued after Coltrane's Prestige contract had ended.

AllMusic Review by Michael G. Nastos  [-]

In 1957, the greatest year for recorded music including modern jazz, Detroit was a hot spot, a centerpiece to many hometown heroes as well as short-term residents like John Coltrane and Miles Davis. It was here that Trane connected with pianist Tommy Flanagan, subsequently headed for the East Coast, and recorded this seminal hard bop album. In tow were fellow Detroiters -- drummer Louis Hayes, bassist Doug Watkins, and guitarist Kenny Burrell, with the fine trumpeter from modern big bands Idrees Sulieman as the sixth wheel. From the opening number, the classic "Minor Mishap," you realize something special is happening. Flanagan is energized, playing bright and joyous melody lines, comping and soloing like the blossoming artist he was. Coltrane is effervescent and inspired, hot off the presses from the Miles Davis Quintet and searching for more expressionism. The other hard bop originals, "Eclypso" and "Solacium," easily burn with a cool flame not readily associated with East Coast jazz. Flanagan himself is the catalyst more than the horns -- dig his soaring, animated solo on "Eclypso" as he quotes "Jeepers Creepers." The near 12-minute blues "Tommy's Tune" is the perfect vehicle for Burrell, a prelude for his classics of the same period "All Day Long" and "All Night Long." The lone trio session, on the standard "How Long Has This Been Going On?," is regarded as quintessential Flanagan, and quite indicative of the Midwestern Motor City flavor Flanagan and his many peers brought into the mainstream jazz of the day and beyond. One yearns for alternate takes of this session. The Cats is a prelude to much more music from all of these masters that would come within a very short time period thereafter, and cannot come more highly recommended. It's a must-buy for the ages.
