Series</B> 2025 limited edition 8-track stereo LP cut directly
from the original analogue tapes, mastered by Kevin Gray at
Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI on 180-gram vinyl. Leo
Parker wasthe first baritone saxophonist on the bebop scene
and gained prominence in Billy Eckstine's band as a member
of the "Unholy Four" saxophone section that also included
Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon, and Gene Ammons in the
mid-1940s. Personal troubles sidelined Parker in the 1950s,
but in 1961 he made a tragically brief comeback on Blue Note
when he recorded two excellent sessions-Let Me Tell You
‘Bout It and Rollin' With Leo-before he died of a heart attack
just months later at age 36. Rollin' With Leo had been
prepared for release, including an album cover design by Reid
Miles, but wound up being shelved and not released until 1980
as part of the LT Series. The 8-song set includes swinging
Parker originals like "The Lion's Roar" and "Jumpin' Leo"
performed by a band including Dave Burns on trumpet, Bill
Swindell on tenor saxophone, Johnny Acea on piano, Stan
Conover and Al Lucas on bass, and Wilbert Hogan and Purnell
Rice on drums. High quality tip-on pasted gatefold picture
sleeve, hype sticker & factory sealed inside its loose bag.
