Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description Personnel includes: Dolo Coker (piano), Art Pepper (saxophone), Blue Mitchell (trumpet). Recorded in 1976. Personnel: Dolo Coker (piano); Frank Butler (drums). Audio Mixer: Paul Goodman . Liner Note Authors: Kent Hazen; Zev Feldman; Bill Milkowski. Recording information: Spectrum Studios, Venice, California (12/27/1976). Director: Don Schlitten. Pianist Dolo Coker had just four opportunities to lead his own record dates during his career, all for the Xanadu label between 1976-1979. The title of this LP refers to the fact that the music is not California "cool jazz" but intense hard bop from the Golden State. In addition to bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Frank Butler (who appear on Coker's first three Xanadu albums) and trumpeter Blue Mitchell (who was on the preceding LP Dolo), the great altoist Art Pepper (doubling on tenor) makes one of his very rare appearances as a sideman. The well-rounded set has originals by Coker, Pepper ("Mr Yohe") and Mitchell (a drum feature for Butler on "Roots 4FB") along with a showcase for the trio ("Gone Again") and a vintage standard ("Gone with the Wind"). A strong effort. ~ Scott Yanow About InnerSleeve We offer unbeatable prices, quick shipping times and a wide selection of vinyl.
