Discópolis 11.330 - El Blues en el Jazz Moderno 1961 - 28/05/21

Discópolis se convierte hoy en Discópolis jazz para ver cómo influyó el blues en el jazz moderno. Rescatamos un vinilo del sello Atlantic de 1961, que ha recibido numerosas reediciones. Se publicó en mono, se reconvirtió al estéreo seis años después, nos llegó a España en 1967, pasó sin pena ni gloria, pero en 1969 se relanzó en Europa y aquí volvimos a editarlo manteniendo el anterior número del Depósito Legal (M.5334-1967). El disco es más que sobresaliente, por eso lo pongo. En todas las ediciones se mantuvieron las notas de carpeta escritas por Gunther Schuller y la portada de Picasso. Sin embargo, los créditos detallados nunca se dieron a conocer en España. Aquí los tenéis en inglés. V.A. – The Blues in Modern Jazz: El Blues en el Jazz Moderno. Atlantic – HAT 421-03, Hispavox.
