Henry Franklin - The Skipper At Home (Remastered) (Vinyl)

The Skipper at Home is a masterpiece of jazz music, featuring an all-star cast of musicians including trumpeter/flugelhornist Oscar Brashear, tenor/soprano saxophonist Charles Owens, and pianist Bill Henderson.

With its roots in bop but nodding to the currents swirling in jazz at the time, this album is both freer and more electric than its predecessor.

The ensemble work is remarkably intuitive and swinging, driven by Henry Franklin's melodic, inventive bass playing.

Never before reissued on vinyl outside of Japan, this remastered edition sounds better than ever thanks to Mike Milchner's expert touch.

Pat Thomas' liner notes complete the package, making The Skipper at Home a must-have for any serious jazz collector.
