Horace Parlan - Glad I Found You [LP]

Horace Parlan's Glad I Found You is his second quintet date for SteepleChase which captures a rare meeting of inspired musicians at a peak moment, recorded in Copenhagen with Thad Jones - making a vibrant late career comeback - and the always inventive Eddie Harris. Parlan leads the quintet full of warmth, swing and spontaneous interplay. The album blends Parlan's own tunes, soulful obscurities, and modern jazz classics like "Afternoon in Paris," all delivered with the rhythmic looseness and deep blues feeling that defined his style. This new 24bit/96kHz remaster brings fresh clarity to one of Parlan's most spirited SteepleChase sessions, revealing the nuance and energy of a group of masters enjoying every moment together."... it's another fine addition to Parlan's discography."
