Great to see Frank Wess getting some love. One of my favorite tenor sounds and one of the pioneers of Jazz flute. Got early recognition as member of the Count Basie orchestra. Can’t imagine being able to swing harder than this; and without playing loud. What a band! https://youtu.be/yhK8TV27sBo https://youtu.be/WkiB-6hvBtQ Great record with tenor player and Basie section mate Frank Foster: https://youtu.be/_lB3Xu_rAHM I posted this fairly recently. Recorded live shortly before he passed. Remarkable to be able to play like this at age 87. In the tradition of the great tenor battles with Frank Foster during the Basie years, here with a young(er) player that he mentored and is one worth checking out, Scott Robinson. I’d be happy to be able to pick my nose at 87: https://youtu.be/YtY4WeNEQy8 |
