The Alternate Blues brings together Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson on an Analogue Productions Pablo Series 180g vinyl LP. Mastered by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, this edition is pressed at Quality Record Pressings and housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
Producer Norman Granz made an exception to his policy against releasing outtakes and alternate takes for these performances. Despite missed cues and rhythm-section procedural problems, Gillespie, Hubbard and Terry delivered blues playing with the passion and expressiveness of the versions released on The Trumpet Summit Meets the Oscar Peterson Big 4.
With Joe Pass, Bobby Durham and Ray Brown, the album also includes four standards not heard on the original release. Put the record on for the extended blues performances, then turn to “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams” and the closing ballad medley.
