- 2 ALBUMS ON 1 CD. 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED ORIGINAL RECORDINGS INCLUDES A 12-PAGE BOOKLET WITH EXTENSIVE LINER NOTES.
This CD includes Bill Perkins’ first two studio albums as a leader accompanied by his quintet with Richie Kamuca. Perkins’ only previous album as a leader contained the material from two live concerts at Hollywood’s Music Box Theater in 1956. We have begun this edition with one of the two aforementioned studio albums consisting of five songs recorded on October 29 1956 with Kamuca and the original Hampton Hawes trio. The CD continues with the eight tracks from Perkins’ other studio album recorded in July of that same year. In closing we added some of the tracks from the December 11 session -with Art Pepper replacing Kamuca- as bonus tracks.
