GLAD I FOUND YOU

Description

« Glad I Found You » by Horace Parlan is his second album in quintet for SteepleChase. It immortalizes a rare meeting between inspired musicians, at their peak, recorded in Copenhagen with Thad Jones – who makes a strong comeback late in his career – and the inventive Eddie Harris. Parlan leads the quintet with warmth, swing, and remarkable spontaneity. The album mixes his own compositions, obscure soul-infused pieces, and modern jazz classics like « Afternoon in Paris », all performed with the rhythmic freedom and deep blues sensitivity that characterize his style. This new 24-bit/96 kHz remaster brings unprecedented clarity to one of Parlan's most inspired sessions at SteepleChase, revealing the nuances and energy of a group of masters savoring every moment together. « … an excellent addition to Parlan's discography. » (Jazz Journal)
