Carmell Jones - The Remarkable Carmell Jones (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) (LP)

Kansas City-born trumpeter Carmell Jones arrived in Los Angeles in 1960 and wasted no time making his mark on the West Coast jazz scene. His 1961 Pacific Jazz debut, The Remarkable Carmell Jones, lives up to its bold title, showcasing his expressive trumpet work alongside a stellar cast that includes tenor saxophonist Harold Land, bassist Gary Peacock, and pianist Frank Strazzeri. Recorded over three sessions at Pacific Jazz Studio in June 1961, this is a debut album that radiates confidence and musical maturity.

This Blue Note Tone Poet Series reissue brings new life to a recording that deserves a wide audience, cut directly from the original analog tapes and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio on 180-gram vinyl pressed at Record Technology Inc. (RTI). The package is thoughtfully assembled, featuring a faithful reproduction of the original artwork alongside both the original liner notes and new retrospective notes by Thomas Conrad. For fans of hard bop and West Coast jazz, this is a beautifully realized presentation of a gem from the Pacific Jazz catalog.
