Primarily drawn from a dynamic 1963 quintet session, Vertigo features
Jackie McLean across a dizzying array of
styles from hard bop and slow blues to sophisticated funk and bristling
post-bop. Joining the alto saxophonist are Donald
Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren, and Tony
Williams.
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 tip-on gatefold jacket.
