Fats Navarro – The Fabulous Fats Navarro (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Tadd Dameron and Fats Navarro had one of bebop's great partnerships, a meeting of a composer who thought orchestrally and a trumpeter whose tone was rounder and warmer than Dizzy Gillespie's, opening a different door into the music. These 1947-49 sessions capture Navarro near his peak, and his work here directly influenced a generation of brass players, Miles Davis and Clifford Brown among them.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The prodigiously talented trumpeter Fats Navarro was a bebop innovator whose career was cut tragically short when he died in 1950 at age 26. As part of the 1500 series Blue Note later compiled this 12" LP with selections from various dates Fats had featured on from 1947-49 with the Tadd Dameron Sextet, Bud Powell Quintet, and the McGhee-Navarro Boptet. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original masters.
