Harish Raghavan “Calls For Action”

I missed this one when released, the bassist’s first as a leader. What a band! I’m not sure I would make the same engineering choices, but the music is very good.

Alto Saxophone – Immanuel Wilkins
Double Bass – Harish Raghavan
Drums – Kweku Sumbry
Piano – Micah Thomas
Vibraphone – Joel Ross

A perfect listen anytime day or night!

Kicked off the morning listening to this fantastic Hampton Hawes.

Someone on a VPI or Magnepan Facebook page posted a snippet of their system playing this album, and I liked the music and sound so much I went right out to Discogs and got myself a NM copy of the LP: Alexander/Pedersen/Tate “Threesome” on Soul Note SN 1152 from 1986.

wish I had a TT that could adjust VTA on the fly, sweet VPI Prime 21

Update: listening now, though digital, good stuff
