A powerful wind blew through The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California on July 29, 1962 as saxophonist Curtis Amy brought a stacked sextet into the legendary venue to record his live album "Tippin' On Through" for Pacific Jazz. The brawny Texas tenor had already recorded his hard-charging date "Groovin' Blue' and would make his masterpiece "Katanga!" the following year. Here he surrounds himself with a dynamic unit featuring Roy Brewster on trombone, Roy Ayers on vibraphone, John Houston on piano, Bob Whitlock on bass, and Lawrence Marable on drums for a swinging six-song set including three of his own originals plus tunes by Benny Golson, Dave Brubeck, and George Gershwin.

 

BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a single sleeve with deluxe tip-on jacket.
