Liner Notes
LOOK OUT!! LOOK OUT!! Here comes Isaac "Red" Holt and Company taking you on a musical journey that should impress you most favorably.Red Holt — the man — is sensitive and sincere. You get the impression he's always striving to say, "This is the way I truly feel. I've got a statement to make, hear me out." He's unpredicable, entertaining and magnetic.
Of course most of you are already familiar with Red through his long participation as percussionist with the Ramsey Lewis Trio. He, Ramsey, and Eldee Young have been making wonderful music for many years and the popularity of the group is a tribute to the discerning taste of the music loving public. The trio invariably works before packed audiences and its record releases areenthusiastically received.
Red Holt — the percussionist — is dynamic, confident and thoroughly professional. Through the years he has been the anchorman in the Ramsey Lewis Trio. His wonderful sense of rhythm and tasteful showmanship have been essential to the success of the group. The powers at Argo Records thought it would be a good idea to spotlight Red as leader on a record session and we're inclined to believe it was a very wise move. Naturally, Ramsey Lewis and Eldee Young were present on piano and bass and to round out the group, add tonal color and instrumental excitement Red wisely chose the fine jazz talents of Floyd Marvin, Roland Faulkner and Wallace Burton.
On this particular record date, it would be easy to say that the many moods of "Red" have been recorded with musicians that have been close to him for most of his musical life. Each one having something definitely in common with the others. That magnetic cohesion of minds, each anticipating the other in collaborating to give a careful blend of melodic, swinging and exotic sounds in jazz.
If this is your first time entering the world of jazz, you've picked a masterful jazz story teller in Mr. Holt. If you're a long time member in our exciting world of jazz, enjoy it!! So have fun, sit back, relax and close your eyes if you can and will, let the musical images take form, you see they'll definitely come alive with vibrancy for you, "the many connoisseurs fine music," for only you and the will have reality now!! Music is recorded, yes...it is the very best in recorded music, so...LOOK OUT!! LOOK OUT!! Hear "Red" Holt and Company.
