David Newman - Ray Charles Presents David "Fathead" Newman - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Pure Analogue Vinyl LP

Recorded in November 1958 for Atlantic, Ray Charles Presents David "Fathead" Newman spotlights the tenor and alto saxophonist who anchored Charles's band, with Ray Charles himself on piano. Drawn from the Ray Charles band's repertoire, the eight numbers stretch out into long, vocal-free improvisations brimming with jazz feeling, from the standout "Hard Times" to the swinging title cut. Remastered by Speakers Corner using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
