The Phantom Vinyl

High quality Blue Note reissue from Paris based label Heavenly Sweetness. This LP features quality sound taken directly from the original master tapes, 180g vinyl, heavy cardboard sleeve and original artwork. Pianist Duke Pearson recorded 'The Phantom' in 1968 with an extended group of musicians: Jerry Dodgion on flute, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Sam Brown and Al Gafa on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Carlos "Potato" Valdes Valdez on percussion. The energy of this record results from the clarity emerging strangely through complex arrangements and harmonies. This album illustrates more than any other not only Duke's incisive playing but also his unique musical vision. Personnel: Duke Pearson (piano), Jerry Dodgion (flute, alto flute), Sam brown (acoustic guitar), Al Gafa (guitar), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), Victor Pantoja, Carlos Valdes (congas, guiro)
