Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the aggressive, incredibly honking baritone saxophone style that made him a standout figure in early modern jazz. The fast-paced, blues-heavy performances demonstrate the massive, driving tone that allowed the cumbersome instrument to successfully navigate the breakneck tempos required by bebop rhythm sections.
