Przedstawiamy VMP Anthology: The Story of Impulse!, ośmioalbumową podróż przez katalog jednej z najważniejszych wytwórni jazzowych, jakie kiedykolwiek powstały w głowach menedżerów muzycznych. Ustanowiona jako sposób na zakwestionowanie status quo w jazzowych LP, Impulse! zarysowała ewolucję jazzu w latach 60-tych, uchwycając wszystkie jego różnorodne wątki, a także najznakomitszych kompozytorów i wykonawców.
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.
