Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leaning heavily into the intersection of rhythm and blues and modern bop, the saxophonist leads a gritty, groove-heavy session flanked by Nat Adderley and Wynton Kelly. His signature stuttering, raspy tenor style injects a raw, jukebox-ready accessibility into the otherwise sophisticated, blues-based improvisations.
