Roots Analogue Productions edition

This album actually already belongs on the list of audiophile "must haves", but has been a real insider tip until now. The incredibly warm, relaxed recording was made in 1961 for the Reprise label with trumpeter Gerald Wilson, pianist Ernie Freeman, bassist Ralph Hamilton and drummer Jim Miller.

"Roots" was recorded at the often underrated or forgotten Radio Recorders Studios in Hollywood, California. Built in 1929, it was one of the truly great - and great sounding - studios of its time, and boasts an incredible discography full of classics.

Remastering for Analogue Productions was handled by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio, and pressing was handled by Quality Record Pressings.
