Which is no surprise given that a lot of the same players are on it, including trumpeter\/flugelhornist Oscar Brashear, tenor\/soprano saxophonist Charles Owens, and pianist Bill Henderson (here billed as Kemang Sunduza). But The Skipper at Home also boasts ace talents like keyboardist Kirk Lightsey (memorably featured on the Roland Haynes Black Jazz release 2nd Wave), trombonist Al Hall, Jr. (who appeared on Black Jazz releases from Doug Carn, Chester Thompson, and Calvin Keys), and drummer Leon “Ndugu” Chancler, who’s played with everyone from Miles Davis to Joe Henderson. The result is an album that, like The Skipper, is rooted in bop but one that nods to some of the currents that were swirling in jazz at the time; it’s a little freer, a little more electric. And, as is true of just about every Black Jazz release, the ensemble work is remarkably intuitive and swinging, driven by Franklin’s melodic, inventive bass playing. This remastered and annotated package comes in a blue with black swirl pressing limited to just 500 copies!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHenry Franklin – The Skipper At Home - Remastered (Blue With Black Swirl Vinyl)\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the remastered edition of Henry Franklin's 'The Skipper At Home' on stunning blue vinyl with black swirl.
