1960 Jazz / Bop LP Repressed On 180g Vinyl - Best known for his work with Charles Mingus, pianist Horace Parlan began recording for Blue Note in 1960 with an excellent run of hard bop classics including Speakin’ My Piece, a quintet date featuring a frontline of Stanley Turrentine on saxophone and Tommy Turrentine on trumpet with the rhythm team of George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180 gram vinyl at Optimal.
Horace Parlan struck out in style as a bandleader in 1960 with a swathe of albums for Blue Note, amongst which was this dazzling display with his quintet. Parlan was notable as a pianist with a handicap in his hand which gave his playing a distinct cadence, and it certainly never held him back. With Tommy and Stanley Turrentine on trumpet and tenor sax respectively, George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums, Speaking' My Piece' breezes through six light and mellow pieces, faithfully repressed by one of the most important labels in all of jazz history.
