介紹 VMP 《選集》:《衝動的故事!》,這是一個關於最重要的爵士唱片公司之一的八張專輯之旅,這家公司是由唱片高層所構思的。作為挑戰爵士 LP現狀的一種方式,Impulse! 紀錄了1960年代爵士音樂的演變,捕捉了所有不同的音樂風格,以及它最優秀的作曲家和表演者。
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.
