Hank Mobley was inspired by "Birth of the Cool" on his 1966 album "A Slice of the Top," featuring arrangements by Duke Pearson for an octet that added euphonium and tuba to a group featuring James Spaulding on alto sax, Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums.
This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
