That’s the usual reaction of anyone fortunate enough to have come across this remarkable (and remarkably rare) session from 1963. The last of six albums saxophonist \u003cstrong\u003eCurtis Amy\u003c\/strong\u003e recorded for Pacific Jazz in the early-1960s, Katanga! transcends not only the rest but plenty of other recorded jazz from that period as well. Trumpeter \u003cstrong\u003eDupree Bolton’s\u003c\/strong\u003e brilliant playing here is simply breathtaking in one of his very few recorded appearances during a career plagued with personal problems. Bolton and Amy are joined by guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eRay Crawford\u003c\/strong\u003e, pianist \u003cstrong\u003eJack Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Gaskin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eDoug Sides\u003c\/strong\u003e on this gem of an album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was’ admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the “Tone Poet,” on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180 gm audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note\/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note Records’ Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging.
