Hannibal: The Angels Of Atlanta (1981)


Although the Harlem Boys Choir is occasionally utilized, and Pat Peterson takes a soulful vocal on "The Inner Voice," this is very much trumpeter Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson's date. The explorative trumpeter is heard at his absolute peak, taking lengthy and fiery improvisations that show off not only his virtuosity but his emotional range. The superlative band (tenor saxophonist George Adams, pianist Kenny Barron, cellist Diedre Murray, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Dannie Richmond) really inspires Peterson, who stretches the boundaries of his music toward gospel and soul without watering down the jazz content. This well-balanced set is one of Hannibal's finest recordings. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Deeply moving music, and perhaps my favorite Hannibal album. Quite possibly the best version of "Motherless Child" I've ever heard.

Fantastic, haven't stopped playing it all day !
Unfortunately every few minutes in the first few tracks am getting complete sound dropouts (4.09 mins is the first in trk 1)
Would it be too cheeky to ask for a re rip .....pleez

Nunne said...

Hmm... Strange and very annoying! Will make a re rip, of course.

Thanks! Still managed to get this one, incredible as it may seem :) Don' you just love this guy, the great unsung hero of the fiery, soulful trumpet? On a par with Woody Shaw when at his best, no doubt about that.

I must to say the cheese drives me crazy, I approach every time for eat cheese and I add in my recipes all the time. I read some days ago the cheese have many properties and vitamin. The most important thing is the potassium and calcium the cheese contain. I am sure that When i buying my house through costa rica homes for sale i will prepare a dinner for all my friends and I will add many cheese. That will be wonderful.
