Description
Red Saunders & His Orchestra: "Probably"/"Mambo In Trumpet" (OKeh 6953, US 1953)
Quoting From Sonny Blount to Sun Ra: The Chicago Years by Robert L. Campbell, Christopher Trent and Robert Pruter: "According to Chris Trent, 'Mambo in Trumpet' and 'Probably' are 'definitely Sun Ra arrangements.' 'Mambo in Trumpet' uses the heavy Latin rhythm that Sunny was fond of in the late 1950s. 'Probably' has a post-Ellingtonian sax ensemble with a heavy bottom; since Riley Hampton, who would became a major recording session arranger after he left Saunders, co-composed the number, we suspect that Ra retouched what Hampton had written."
Condition: The record retains much of its original gloss, with only some slight scuffing visible. Both sides play with a bit of noise in places.
Payment methods: PayPal only!
Postage costs: US$8 worldwide, first class (air mail). Carefully packed in new bubble bag with cardboard stiffeners inside. If you win more than one of the singles and EPs in my auctions, I will combine the postage – it's the same, $8, no matter how many records are sent to the same address.
