"LOOK UP!"
In late 1957, Bumps Blackwell had moved from Specialty Records to Keen Records, and brought with him, among others the famed Gospel quintet, The Pilgrim Travelers. This version of the group included J.W. Alexander, Jesse Whitaker, Lou Rawles, Ernest Booker and George McCurn. They recorded this album at Radio Recorders, in a number of sessions, one of which seems to have included Sam Cooke. A fine record by a legendary gospel groups.
V.S.O.P. #50
THE METROPOLITAN BOPERA HOUSE
'FORMIDABLE!"
The second Metropolitan Bopera House album released by V.S.O.P. RECORDS was a studio session recorded in October, 1986 in New York City. The group featured Danny D’Imperio, the leader, on drums, John Marshall on trumpet, Gary Pribek on alto, Tardo Hammer on piano and David Shapiro on bass. This program includes the original LP program, plus four bonus tracks. More relaxed than the M.B.H’s original live sessions from 1984, but still energized with the same excitement that marked the group’s earlier work.
