HORACE PARLAN Up And Down (Blue Note Tone Poet Series 2025 limited edition 6-track stereo LP cut directly from the original analogue tapes, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI on 180-gram vinyl. Following the trio albums Movin' & Groovin' and Us Three, Parlan expanded to a quintet for his classic Speakin' My Piece, and in 1961 capped off his hot streak with the quintet album Up & Down. The six-song set was anchored by Parlan's trusty trio with bassist George Tucker and drummer Al Harewood and featured the two new band members in guitarist and Blue Note stalwart Grant Green and brawny tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin. High quality tip-on pasted gatefold picture sleeve, hype sticker & factory sealed inside its loose bag. Recommended)
