0466 Ernest Ranglin [Wranglin'] 320 6(40.50)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
I had this lp many years ago and sold it 7 or 8 years ago for £100.  I don't really know why I did that and I've regretted it ever since.  I didn't even make a digital copy at the time.
It's scarce and still fetches a good price if you can find a copy. No cd issue either.
I don't know where this version came from but it's in mp3 format - thought to be 320 mps but I'm not convinced. The original sound had lots of crackles but it cleaned up nicely with Izotope and it now has a very respectable sound.  First time outing for me working with this sound restoration process.
Irrespective of the sound quality, the music is just fine and one of the few jazz outings guitarist Ernest Ranglin had as leader. It was recorded in 1964.
Jamaican born, Ernest came to the UK in the mid 1960s and played regularly as part of the house rhythm section at Ronnie Scott's.  He had a long association with Monty Alexander later during the 1970s and is recognized as one of the leaders and innovators of the Ska movement. He moved back to Jamaica later in the 1960 and then moved to the USA in 1982 where he now lives. He is still playing at the age of 82.
