Curtis Amy: Tippin’ On Through (Tone Poet Vinyl) (180g) [LP]

On July 29, 1962, a strong wind blew through the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California, when tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy performed with a sextet of West Coast musicians in the legendary jazz club to record the live album "Tippin' On Through" for Pacific Jazz. Stylistically, Curtis Amy moves through funky hard bop and soul jazz in three original compositions, but also interprets a jazz classic by the Gershwin brothers as well as pieces by Benny Golson and Dave Brubeck. In addition to the tenor saxophonist, the young vibraphonist Roy Ayers, for whom this was one of his first recordings, shone in particular at the concert.

Blue Note Tone Poet Edition: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, completely remastered in analog by Kevin Gray from the original tapes, RTI pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on single sleeve, padded inner sleeve.
