Vito Price • Swingin' The Loop

 

Vito Price is one of the great unknowns of jazz music, a saxophonist who made his debut album in 1959 and then didn’t release a follow-up until 2003! On the evidence of his debut, it was a loss to the music world, given that Swinging The Loop was an exceptional first time effort. “I’m thrilled that I finally got the chance to do a record. I felt ready. This is my idea of happy, swinging music,” he stated at the time of release. And indeed it is happy, swinging music, and an album that should have ushered in a major new talent. That he was allowed to pass under the radar for so long is one of jazz music’s great mysteries, for on the strength of this outing, he appeared destined for greatness.

Vito Price es uno de los grandes desconocidos de la música de jazz, un saxofonista que hizo su álbum de debut en 1959 y que no publicó una continuación hasta 2003. A la vista de su debut, fue una pérdida para el mundo de la música, dado que Swinging The Loop fue un primer esfuerzo excepcional. "Estoy encantado de haber tenido por fin la oportunidad de hacer un disco. Me sentía preparado. Esta es mi idea de la música alegre y oscilante", declaró en el momento del lanzamiento. Y, efectivamente, es música alegre y con swing, y un álbum que debería haber dado paso a un nuevo e importante talento. El hecho de que haya pasado desapercibido durante tanto tiempo es uno de los grandes misterios de la música de jazz, ya que, con este disco, parecía destinado a la grandeza.
