Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling Savoy Records sessions from 1945 to 1947, this album captures the tenor saxophonist at the forefront of the bebop revolution. His massive tone and rhythmically inventive, quote-heavy solos on these tracks heavily influenced an entire generation of subsequent hard bop players.
