Strings Attached is an album by multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan which was recorded in January and July 1982, and May 1983, in Miami, Florida. The album was first released on the Miami-based label Strings Attached in 1983.[2][3] The record was subsequently reissued on the Pausa label in 1985 (Catalog No.: PR 7169).[2][4] The record was released on CD with three additional tracks by Unicorn Productions in 1996, under the title "Strings Attached – Update!"[3]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This obscure LP features Sullivan on trumpet, flugelhorn and flute joined by saxophonist John Alexander, a rhythm section and a string quartet. Sullivan and the younger players perform six group originals that emphasize the lyrical side of the great multi-instrumentalist and effectively blend together the strings with the jazz ensemble".[5]
