180-gram vinyl reissue

Impex Records presents the all-analog, 180-gram LP: Art Blakey's seminal (and highly influential) Drum Suite.

The single-take suite on side A features legendary players drummer "Papa" Jo Jones, bassist Oscar Pettiford, pianist Ray Bryant, and percussionists Charles Wright, Sabu and Candido. It's a dazzling and powerful ensemble piece honoring ancient African tribal rituals in a modern bop setting. AllMusicguide.com calls it "vital, powerful, and visionary." You'll want to get this one right away.

Another hit! posted on 02/29/2020 5 Stars Another homerun! Extraordinary fidelity. Superb dynamic range which is essential for this extraordinary performance. 5 stars again! Kudos to the team! The only flaw Impex has is a way too small catalog keep them coming.
