Hot Boys

Four saxes, one vision. Always loved Tenor Conclave, a hot blowing session recorded in 1956 and featuring messrs. Mobley, Cohn, Coltrane, and Sims in great form. The Bob in the title refers to Bob Weinstock btw, founder of the famous jazz label Prestige. While you dig, I'm off for a few days on a hopefully sunny rest & recuperation trip. See ya sometime next week.

Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, John Coltrane, Zoot Sims - Bob's Boys

Straight Life

"I wanna be straight, I wanna be straight, I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late..."

And as a chaser: a hot quartet of not so straight jazz cuts.
