Jackson, Milt Quartet - Statements.

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON IMPULSE 1967.

Impulse AS-14 made in USA in gatefold cover with original inner sleeve. Vinyl NM. Cover NM.

Vibraphonist Milt Jackson has been so consistent throughout his lengthy career that his excellence can be taken for granted. This Impulse! recording features Bags with a quartet (including pianist Hank Jones) from 1961. The blues, ballads, standards, and originals are typical of Jackson's recordings, as is the high quality of the swinging music. Nothing too unusual occurs but the results are pleasing. [An Impulse! compilation, also titled Statements, featured the tracks from the original LP plus Jackson leading a quintet (with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath and pianist Tommy Flanagan) in 1964, originally half of the album Jazz 'N' Samba. In addition there is a feature for Flanagan in a trio without the vibraphonist that was originally on an Impulse! sampler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milt_Jackson
