Description

1LP Vinyl – RGM-1264 (Limited Edition, Reissue, Stereo, Blue w/ Black Swirl Vinyl)

Henry Franklin's The Skipper At Home is a standout in the legendary Black Jazz catalogue. Released in 1974 as the follow-up to his acclaimed debut The Skipper, it not only matches its predecessor's brilliance but arguably surpasses it.

Rooted in hard bop while embracing the spiritual, soulful, and electric sounds shaping jazz in the mid-'70s, the album features an exceptional lineup including Oscar Brashear, Charles Owens, Bill Henderson (credited as Kemang Sunduza), Kirk Lightsey, Al Hall Jr., and Leon "Ndugu" Chancler. Together they deliver an effortlessly swinging, deeply intuitive session, anchored by Franklin's melodic and inventive bass work.

This remastered edition comes on a striking blue with black swirl vinyl, limited to just 500 copies—an essential release for Black Jazz collectors and spiritual jazz fans alike.
