Recorded in 1956 for Tom Wilson’s Transition label, Watkins At Large was the first of 2 albums bassist Doug Watkins made as a leader. With a first-rate band featuring Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Duke Jordan & Art Taylor, Watkins swings through a stellar set of blues, ballads & more. This mono Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on jacket with a booklet.
