Africa\/Brass, released in 1961, was John Coltrane's first album for Impulse! Records and a turning point in his recorded output. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio and produced by Creed Taylor, the project expanded Coltrane's working quartet into a large ensemble, pairing his searching tenor and soprano saxophone with dense, brass-heavy orchestrations by Cal Massey. Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner helped shape the album's distinctive sound, weaving tuba, euphonium, French horns, and more into a powerful backdrop for Coltrane's improvisations. With key contributions from trumpeters Booker Little and Freddie Hubbard, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Elvin Jones, and others, Africa\/Brass reframed the idea of a \"\"big band.\"\" One of the most important early Impulse! Releases, Africa\/Brass announced Coltrane's arrival on the \"\"house that Trane built\"\" with radical clarity. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series is remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894778134823,"sku":"199957084604","price":48.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4496235-3568045.jpg?v=1787146419","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/john-coltrane-africabrass-verve-acoustic-sounds-series-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
