ETTA JONES ‎”Hollar!” 1963 RVG Prestige VG+ Vinyl This is the 1963, RVG stamped pressing of ETTA JONES’ ‎”Hollar!” on Prestige PRST 7284. VINYL is VG+, high gloss. The labels are clean. See photos. COVER is in EX shape. Seams and spine solid. Some crinkling on spine. Some writing on back jacket. Corners worn. Please see photos. Etta Jones had the spark that made each of her vocals special, though she was never acknowledged properly during a long career. Following her hit "Don't Go to Strangers," she continued to record first-rate songs. Many of her albums were unjustly out of print for decades, though Hollar! was finally reissued by Fantasy as part of their Original Jazz Classics series in 2001. Jones is backed by three separate groups on this release. Guitarist Wally Richardson provides the driving rhythm to back her swinging take of "And the Angels Sing," while vibraphonist Lem Winchester and pianist Richard Wyands support Jones in her emotional rendition of "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)." Jones would eventually return to the brisk bop gem "Reverse the Charges" decades after this recording, but this early version is preferable, with a nice interlude by pianist Jimmy Neely. There's a bit of friendly conversation in the studio as Jones gets underway with another swinger, "Our Love Is Here to Stay," adding a boisterous tenor sax solo by Oliver Nelson. This is easily one of Etta Jones' best recordings. This LP was play-tested on a high-end audio system. Record cleaned on ProJect VCS and or Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Pro Cleaner.
