Harold Johnson Sextet – House On Elm Street 1967

Harold Johnson Sextet – House On Elm Street (1967 Soul Jazz Album Review & Tracklist)

H.M.E. records 1967 – HME 5-101-5-67

notes:

If you’re digging deep into rare groove and vintage jazz,

 House On Elm Street by the Harold Johnson Sextet is the 

kind of album that rewards repeated listening. Originally 

recorded in 1967 and later released on the Revue label, 

this overlooked LP blends soul jazz, Latin rhythms, and 

cinematic lounge textures into a surprisingly cohesive experience

Led by pianist Harold Johnson, a young prodigy from Los Angeles,

 the group formed during his teenage years and quickly recorded 

their debut album. The project was initially released on an

 independent label before being picked up and distributed 

more widely by MCA’s Revue imprint.

Despite being called a “sextet,” the recording actually features a 

larger ensemble, with additional horn players adding depth 

and texture throughout the album.
