HENRY FRANKLIN (LTD. TRANSPARENT BLUE VINYL)

A native of Los Angeles, Henry Franklin came of age while the city was producing a crop of exciting jazz talent. Frankin™s lasting impact on jazz can be evidenced by the long list of legends who sought him out for tours and recording sessions, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Humphrey, Freddy Hubbard, & Pharaoh Sanders to name a few. Franklin™s solo output is best remembered for his two solo outings with the Black Jazz label- šThe Skipper› & šThe Skipper At Home›. Together, they form one of the most compelling diptychs in the entire post-bop canon. Recognised by his peers and contemporaries, Franklin™s entry for Jazz Is Dead gives the living legend his flowers and recognises the contributions The Skipper has made as one of jazz™s most influential heartbeats.
