I'm looking for some big blue tenor sax work, preferably in quartet or trio. I've got a lot of the usual suspects - Rollins, Moody, Coltrane, Stitt, Bergonzi, etc. I'm looking for newer high-quality recordings, and preferably slower tempo. Any suggestions?
Although it's a little "bigger" than you might want, you owe it to yourself to hear Johnny Hodges' "With The Billy Strayhorn Orchestra". I love sax and this is slow, smooth and will melt in your ears. This is one of my all time favorites and as child of the sixties rock'n roller, that saying something!
Excellent suggestions thus far. Grimace, if you're equally open to tenor sax work with strings - while I love trios and quartets too - may I suggest Denis Solee's materials, slow tempo standards, all in newer high quality recordings you won't be disappointed.
