Junior Mance Trio • Deep The Classic 1980 New York Studio Session Remixed

 



Description from JSP Records / Bear Family Records:
A jazz critic once complained that Jr Mance 'turned everything into a blues'... wrong! Jr Mance turned everything into The Blues! His style was deeply funky, soulful, genre busting, percussive and was as much deep blues as any wailing harmonica player. This album was recorded in 1980 at New York's famed Downtown Sound. It was recorded direct to stereo on 1/4 tape. The balance was brilliantly caught by the engineer and of course, no overdubs, just real music played by real musicians in 'the moment'. The remastering has been done from the original session tapes but utilises the most modern technology. This music has never sounded better or more powerful and I think this rework of the original tapes brings out even more of the power of the piano, the sheer percussiveness of the playing. This set is no mere 'reissue' but is a complete reimagining of this classic session.

Descripcion de JSP Records / Bear Family Records:
Un critico de jazz se quejo una vez de que Jr Mance 'convertia todo en blues'... equivocado! Jr Mance convirtio todo en The Blues! Su estilo era profundamente funky, lleno de alma, rompedor de generos, percusivo y era tanto blues profundo como cualquier armonicista. Este album fue grabado en 1980 en el famoso Downtown Sound de Nueva York. Fue grabado directo a estereo en cinta de 1/4 de pulgada. El balance fue captado brillantemente por el ingeniero y, por supuesto, sin sobreimpresiones, solo musica real tocada por musicos reales 'en el momento'. La remasterizacion se ha realizado a partir de las cintas originales de la sesion pero utilizando la tecnologia mas moderna. Esta musica nunca ha sonado mejor ni mas poderosa y creo que esta reelaboracion de las cintas originales saca aun mas el poder del piano, la pura percusividad de la interpretacion. Esta edicion no es una mera 'reedicion' sino una reimaginacion completa de esta sesion clasica.
