The Charlie Rouse Band's '77 Latin-Jazz Gem "Cinnamon Flower" Arrives With Bonus Tracks


"Cinnamon Flower: The Expanded Edition is a reissue of the legendary saxophonist Charlie Rouse's Brazilian-inspired 1977 album, originally released on Douglas Records. Nearly 50 years later, Resonance is proud to present this deluxe, definitive edition of Cinnamon Flower, which contains nearly 30 minutes of previously unissued versions of songs from the original release captured by Resonance founder and engineer, George Klabin, at Sound Ideas studio in New York City, plus a track, "Meeting House," that has never been issued before on any release. 

The limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP set (and deluxe CD) was transferred from the original tapes and mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, with new liner notes by author James Gavin and an interview statement by Charlie Rouse’s son, Charlie “Chico” Rouse, Jr. The stellar band features jazz greats such as Dom Salvador, Ron Carter, Bernard Purdie and Claudio Roditi." - Resonance Records
