Arnett Cobb Party Time

180g Vinyl LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!
Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray!
At the time of this 1957 recording, American saxophonist Arnett Cobb was still recovering from a serious car accident. In 1959 he recorded three strong albums for Prestige, including Party Time. Cobb is accompanied by pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Wendell Marshall, drummer Art Taylor and Ray Barretto on congas. Tracks like "When My Dreamboat Comes Home", "Blues in the Closet" and "Flying Home" make this album the first choice.
Part of the ultimate audiophile Prestige stereo reissues from Analogue Productions — 25 of the most collectible, rarest, most audiophile-sounding Rudy Van Gelder recordings ever made. All mastered from the original analog master tapes by mastering maestro Kevin Gray.
At the time he recorded this album in 1957, Arnett Cobb was in the process of rebounding from a serious automobile accident that broke both his legs. Cobb's indomitable spirit shines through in these tracks, whether he is calmly preaching on "When My Dream Boat Comes Home," grooving down the "Lonesome Road," or roaring through the song that is almost as closely associated with him as it is with Illinois Jacquet — "Flying Home."
There are plenty of good blues, too, and pianist Ray Bryant's eloquence in this idiom is well exposed. Ray Barretto's conga adds another flavor to the rhythm section, especially on "Cocktails for Two." With Ray Bryant, Wendell Marshall, Arthur Taylor and Ray Barretto.
