This CD reissue is an excellent example of tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest in a soulful but fairly straight-ahead setting. Accompanied by pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Clarence Johnston, Forrest revives his "Bolo Blues," and plays his basic "Crash Program," and otherwise sticks to melodic standards. His highly expressive powers and ability to say a lot with a few notes is very much in evidence on this excellent set.

Personnel: Jimmy Forrest (tenor saxophone); Joe Zawinul (piano); Tommy Potter (bass); Clarence Johnston (drums).

  1. Thank you Giullia G for your wonderful response to my request, this has been one of my favourites for many years and I used to have it on LP, track 5 is a great example of controled swing, and track 8 is just superb a superb example of ballad styling. Come on all fans of good jazz tenor sax playing, give this a listen.
