Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bringing together two distinctive yet complementary tenor saxophone voices, 'From A to Z' thrives on the symbiotic interplay and swinging momentum between the co-leaders. Their shared background in big bands informs the tightly arranged harmonies and spirited chase choruses.
