Goldenwings (Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series): Vinyl LP
CR767Label: Concord
Release Date: 22nd February
HAVE MERCY! This record is absolutely wild, it's a latin-fazz-fusion trip, a hyper-active workout of heavy grooving and rhythm mind explosions with moments of modulated synth ascensions to another realm. Absolutely what you want when picking out cosmic latin jazz fusion.
Masterminded by the prolific collaborators The Fattoruso Brothers, Airto Moreira, and Hermeto Pascoal, Opa’s Goldenwings a latin-jazz-fusion extravaganza that weaves a sonic world that lives at the intersection of lush three-part vocal harmonies, tender flute solos, pulsating percussions, and robust synth textures. Reissued on vinyl for the first time in 50 years as part of Jazz Dispensary’s Top Shelf series, the album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a gatefold tip-on jacket.
