Savoy, 1956. Used ... $8.99
Frank's tenor and flute are out front on this swingin' session cut with Frank Foster, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Clarke, and Bennie Powell. The tracks are tight and swing oriented, with the sort of Basie-ite feel you'd expect from Wess. Titles include "What'd Ya Say", "Dill Pickles" ... read more CD
