If you are a jazz vinyl purist, you know the thrill of the hunt. You know what it’s like to flip through dusty crates at 6 AM, looking for that one holy grail press. A record that didn't just capture a moment in time, but completely pushed the boundaries of what acoustic jazz could be.In 1987, a blistering quintet-turned-septet stepped into a New York studio and cut a self-titled record that has since become a cult-classic among rare-vinyl collectors worldwide:Ululation.
Driven by the fierce compositions of baritone saxophonist John Lee Krasnow, and anchored by the explosive trumpet of Art Blakey’s own Valery Ponomarev, this album unleashed a massive, four-horn wall of sound. But standing dead center in that legendary wallof sound, trading fiery licks and bringing a fierce, Boston-bred energy to the tenor saxophone, was Jerry Vejmola.
