Gangsters
The Gangsters
Available again. Recorded in the early '70s, this collection of instrumentals is a crystal clear glimpse into a forgotten period of Portland's music history. Fostered by the Albina Art Center, The Gangsters were led by trumpeter Thara Memory, who wrote and arranged all of their material, and produced the sessions heard on this vinyl only release. Rescued from obscurity, the tracks on this album have all the punch and hip-swinging joy of fellow jazz/funk artists like The Crusaders, Weather Report and Pleasure. This release by Albina Music Trust comes with a 12-page booklet featuring archival photos and advertisements from The Gangsters' heyday.
