Leo Parker was the first bebop bari sax player and a member of Billy Eckstine’s Unholy Four saxophone section with Dexter Gordon in the mid-40s. Sidelined in the 50s due to personal troubles, he made a tragically brief comeback in 1961 recording two Blue Note dates including Rollin’ With Leo months before he died. This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
