Recorded live at the Black Hawk, San Francisco in September 1959, At The Blackhawk, Vol. 1 is the first of four volumes released in 1960. Featuring six cuts, Shelly Manne (drums) is joined by Joe Gordon (trumpet), Richie Kamuca (tenor sax), Victor Feldman (piano) and Monty Budwig (bass).
This new edition of the album is released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds series on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and is presented in a tip-on jacket.
There's something special about the best of live jazz recordings and Roy DuNann captures the essence of the sound of the club. As Richard Cook and Brian Morton wrote in The Penguin Guide to Jazz, 'One of the finest and swingiest mainstream recordings ever made.' Highlights here include the opening track 'Summertime' with its ballad-like presentation and smooth, somewhat understated performance.
