Presentiamo VMP Anthology: La Storia di Impulse!, un viaggio di otto album attraverso il catalogo di uno dei più importanti marchi jazz mai immaginati dai dirigenti discografici. Fondato come un modo per sfidare lo status quo nei LP jazz, Impulse! ha tracciato l'evoluzione del jazz negli anni '60, catturando tutti i suoi fili disparati, così come i suoi migliori compositori e interpreti.
The first six titles (Africa/Brass, Passin’ Thru, Alexandria The Great, Mingus Plays Piano, Jazz Raga and Chicken Fat) are AAA-mastered from tapes. For the seventh, Karma, the master tapes were digitized and supplemented with high quality digital sources, and the eighth, Ptah, The El Daoud, is mastered from the highest quality digital masters. Lacquers were cut by Ryan Smith and Barry Grint, and all eight titles are pressed on 180g vinyl at TBA.
Go beyond the albums by reading our 28-page Listening Notes booklet, written by Ben Ratliff. It covers the story of Impulse!, each individual album in the box and their place in the story of jazz. Our accompanying podcast offers a unique perspective and insight on each album and was produced in close conjunction with the Impulse! team. Find it on streaming services when your Anthology ships, and listen to each corresponding episode as you make your way through the records in your box.
