Africa/Brass, released in 1961, was John Coltranes first album for Impulse! Records and a turning point in hisrecorded output. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelders studio and produced by Creed Taylor, the project expandedColtranes working quartet into a large ensemble, pairing his searching tenor and soprano saxophone with dense,brass-heavy orchestrations by Cal Massey. Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner helped shape thealbums distinctive sound, weaving tuba, euphonium, French horns, and more into a powerful backdrop forColtranes improvisations. With key contributions from trumpeters Booker Little and Freddie Hubbard, bassistReggie Workman, drummer Elvin Jones, and others, Africa/Brass reframed the idea of a big band. One of the mostimportant early Impulse! releases, Africa/Brass announced Coltranes arrival on the house that Trane built withradical clarity. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series is remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180gvinyl.
