Product description

"Lucky Is Back!" is a vibrant and dynamic jazz album by the legendary Lucky Thompson, released in 2011 by Fresh Sound Records. This collection of 16 tracks, originally recorded in 1965, showcases Thompson's mastery of the tenor and soprano saxophone, blending elements of hard bop, bebop, and French jazz into a rich and engaging tapestry of sound. Collaborating with the talented pianist Tommy Flanagan, Thompson delivers a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply expressive.

The album opens with the sultry "Love," setting the tone for a journey through a variety of moods and tempos. From the upbeat energy of "Evil Eva" and "Passionately Yours" to the slower, more introspective pieces like "Slow Dough" and "Willow Weep For Me," Thompson's versatility as a musician shines through. Each track is a testament to his innovative approach to jazz, incorporating complex harmonies and rhythmic intricacies that highlight his unique style.

"Lucky Is Back!" is not just a compilation of songs but a celebration of Lucky Thompson's enduring legacy in the world of jazz. His playing, characterized by its swing and bebop influences, continues to inspire and captivate audiences. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that showcases the brilliance of one of jazz's most influential saxophonists.

This LP was released in 1965.

About Lucky Thompson

Lucky Thompson was a pioneering American jazz saxophonist, renowned for his mastery of both tenor and soprano saxophones. Born Eli Thompson, he earned the nickname 'Lucky' and made significant contributions to the jazz scene, blending elements of swing and bebop with harmonically sophisticated playing. Thompson was ahead of his time in embracing the soprano saxophone, predating John Coltrane's popularisation of the instrument. His career saw him perform with jazz legends such as Miles Davis and Stan Kenton, but it also took a tumultuous turn, leading him to Europe where he joined a community of exiled jazz greats like Don Byas and Dexter Gordon. Thompson's music is a testament to his versatility, offering a sound that is both timeless and modern, making him a standout figure in the world of hard bop and bebop.
