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 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. For this expanded edition, the original session tapes, without the overdubs and including a previously unissued track, have been transferred and mastered by Matthew Lutthans for a second, sonically exquisite LP that sounds fresher than what listeners heard in 1977. -Derk Richardson, The Absolute Sound, November 2025, Music 4/5, Sonics 4.5/5 Features Hand-Numbered, Limited Edition Pressing of 1,000 Expanded Edition Transferred from the Original Master Tapes Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab 180g Vinyl Double LP 30 Minutes of Previously Unissued Versions Never-Before-Issued Bonus Track "Meeting House" Pressed at Le Vinylist Gatefold Jacket 8-Page Insert with Rare Photos from Raymond Ross & Christian Rose Liner Notes by Author James Gavin plus an Interview with Charlie "Chico" Rouse, Jr.
