HARDESTY HERB - CD THE DOMINO EFFECT - THE WING & FEDERAL RECORDINGS

Popis - THE DOMINO EFFECT - THE WING & FEDERAL RECORDINGS:
For many years a leading light and featured soloist on innumerable New Orleans R&B sessions - including just about every recording made by his long-term friend and employer Fats Domino - Herb Hardesty has long been admired by RocknRoll and R&B enthusiasts the world over.
Like fellow New Orleans saxophonists, Lee Allen and Red Tyler, Herb seldom recorded under his own name during his peak years. Unlike Red and Lee, Herbs one and only solo album was not issued at the time.
Now, almost 55 years later, Ace proudly presents the 12 tracks from that unissued 1958 Mercury album, along with the only sides to have ever been issued commercially under Herbs name, all drawn from the King vaults.
As well as Herbs tenor and trumpet virtuosity, "The Domino Effect" features pretty much the whole Fats Domino studio and road band (with the exception of Fats) in its prime.
Herb himself was interviewed for and wholeheartedly endorses this release, which also features a booklet packed with wonderful photographs from Herbs personal collection and a superb 6000 word sleeve note by George Korval.
"The Domino Effect" offers a straight from the master tapes package of good-time New Orleans rockin R&B that will gladden the hearts of each and every fan of vintage instrumental music.
