Although baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber has played on countless funk and jazz sessions over the years (think of work by Lonnie Smith or Mongo Santamaria to name just a few!), this album's one of the few that he ever cut as a leader during the classic years. The style of the album is in a ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Excellent live material from Gray – recorded in Hollywood in 1952, but not issued until this late 70s package by Xanadu. Like other sides on that label, the material's well worth unearthing – especially as it features Gray in the sort of setting that hardly ever made it to record: a ...

Obscure recordings that Hawk did for the Jazztone label in the mid 50s – sides that were not well packaged at the time, and often get confused with other work recorded for different labels.
