  • Description

    180g vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with LP size insert - remastered from the original analogue tapes - limited hand-numbered edition.

    Altoist Bobby Watson has always been a consistent improviser whose roots are in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers but who is open to freer innovations. For this Red album, Watson is joined by John Hicks, Curtis Lundy and Marvin "Smitty" Smith for five of his originals, one by his wife Pamela Watson and Curtis Lundy's "Sho Thang." With such titles as "The Mistery of Ebop," "Blues for Alto" and the title cut, the high-quality music is essentially advanced hard bop and gives Watson a good opportunity to stretch out on some challenging structures.

    Bobby Watson: alto & soprano saxophone
    John Hicks: piano
    Curtis Lundy: bass
    Marvin "Smitty" Smith: drums

    Recorded November 13th 1986, New York
