Africa\/Brass, released in 1961, was John Coltrane's first album for Impulse! Records and a turning point in his recorded output. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio and produced by Creed Taylor, the project expanded Coltrane's working quartet into a large ensemble, pairing his searching tenor and soprano saxophone with dense, brass-heavy orchestrations by Cal Massey. Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner helped shape the album's distinctive sound, weaving tuba, euphonium, French horns, and more into a powerful backdrop for Coltrane's improvisations. With key contributions from trumpeters Booker Little and Freddie Hubbard, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Elvin Jones, and others, Africa\/Brass reframed the idea of a \"big band.\" One of the most important early Impulse! Releases, Africa\/Brass announced Coltrane's arrival on the \"house that Trane built\" with radical clarity. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series is remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47862345564378,"sku":"199957084604","price":42.71,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/AFRICABRASSACOUSTICLP_ntobns.jpg?v=1778655108","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/john-coltrane-africa-brass-verve-acoustic-sounds-series-180-gram-vinyl","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
