Plas Johnson • The Warm Sound of Plas Johnson Tenor Sax, Vol. 2 - The Madison Avenue Strut

 

Description from Dusty Groove / Fresh Sound Records:
An obscure session from Plas Johnson — recording here away from Capitol, under another name, quite possibly for contractual reasons! Regardless of the name above the title, this is a wonderfully evocative set of midnight-blue instrumentals shrouded in cigarette smoke and illuminated by the light of flickering neon sign. The album's got the gentle groove of Plas' best records of the time — deep deep tenor sax solos, recorded in a moody, echoey, late night setting — all augmented by small combo instrumentation that includes vibes by Emil Richards, bass by Jimmy Bond, and organ by Bert Kendrix.

Descripción de Dusty Groove / Fresh Sound Records:
Una sesión poco conocida de Plas Johnson — grabada aquí alejado de Capitol, bajo otro nombre, muy posiblemente por razones contractuales. Independientemente del nombre en la portada, este es un conjunto maravillosamente evocador de instrumentales de azul medianoche, envueltos en humo de cigarrillos e iluminados por la luz de un letrero de neón parpadeante. El álbum tiene el groove suave de los mejores discos de Plas de la época — solos de saxofón tenor muy profundos, grabados en un ambiente sombrío, con eco, de madrugada — todo complementado por una instrumentación de pequeño combo que incluye vibráfono de Emil Richards, bajo de Jimmy Bond y órgano de Bert Kendrix.
