WARDELL GRAY A Sinner Kissed an Angel Recorded between 1949 and 1953 XR remastering by Andrew Rose at Pristine Audio, November-December 2011 Cover artwork based on a photograph of Wardell Gray Wardell Grey - one of the forgotten greats of Jazz New 32-bit XR-remastered transfers with utterly transformed sound quality This album came about as one of those happy accidents - a Sunday afternoon leafing through a collection of old LPs donated to Pristine unearthed two volumes on the Esquire label, entitled Wardell Gray Memorial, which together make up the selection of studio and live recordings presented here. My initial aim was to rework the rather poor sound quality of the original recordings for my own pleasure, but the results far exceeded my expectations - hence the present issue. Gone is the primitive, almost telephonic sound of the originals - in its place a fuller, much brighter sound that really allows the performers to sing. Judicious use of Ambient Stereo and a convolution reverb which recreates the acoustic of the Birdland jazz club in New York also help contibute to a fabulously lively and spontaneous sound that really brings this long-forgotten saxophonists great music back to life.
