Album Notes & Community Reviews
Known as the 'Little Giant,' the tenor saxophonist unleashes a torrent of fiercely fast, technically dazzling solos across this quartet session. Accompanied warmly by Sonny Clark on piano, the record flawlessly balances breakneck virtuosity with deep, gospel-inflected blues sensibilities.
