People and Love

Available on vinyl for the first time since its original release 50 years ago, the downtempo-funk extravaganza People and Love is a crate-digger's treasure chest, filled with soul-jazz grooves and mesmerizing vibraphone textures laid down by Johnny Lytle, who was touted as "the greatest vibes player in the world" by the big band legend Lionel Hampton. The album was mastered from the original analogue tapes by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket. US Import, part of the Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series.
