Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the formidable tenor work of James Clay, 'Tenorman' injects an aggressive, blues-rooted intensity into the often-placid California studio aesthetic. The drummer-led session maintains a tough, propulsive swing that rivals the most aggressive East Coast contemporaries.
