Throughout much of the '80s and '90s, Dave Liebman focused exclusively on soprano saxophone. On this 1996 date he proclaims the Return of the Tenor, taking up the larger horn once again for an inspired set of well-known standards. (One can read about Liebman's creative reasons for doing so in his self-penned liner notes.) Flanked by the members of his working band pianist Phil Markowitz, guitarist Vic Juris, bassist Tony Marino, and drummer Jamey Haddad Liebman chooses not to rearrange or reharmonize the tunes in any fundamental way. In his own words, this is a "blowing session," but players like these have a way of making a blowing session sound like a lot more. What Liebman is really doing, however, is publicly working out his issues on the tenor saxophone, and using familiar melodies and forms to do so. The varied ensemble formats duo, trio, quartet, quintet help to sustain the listener's interest. ~ David R.Adler https://www.allmusic.com/album/return-of-the-tenor-standards-mw0000183203

An extremely popular player in the '50s, Don Elliott was a fine soloist in the swing mode. He first studied piano and accordion, then played baritone horn and mellophone in his high school band. He switched to trumpet while playing in local dance bands, and as a teen worked with fellow teen Bill Evans. Elliott studied harmony at the Institute of Musical Art in New York in the mid-'40s, then played trumpet in an army band. Following that, he studied arranging and vibes at the University of Miami in 1947. When he returned to New York, Elliott played with George Shearing, Teddy Wilson, and Benny Goodman. He later performed and recorded with Terry Gibbs and Buddy Rich before forming his own band. Elliott took "miscellaneous instrument" honors in Down Beat five straight years in the late '50s. During the '60s and '70s, he did Broadway shows and composed film scores and songs for radio and television commercials. He returned to jazz in 1975, serving as a guest soloist with the New York Jazz Repertory Company at Carnegie Hall. ~ Ron Wynn https://www.allmusic.com/artist/don-elliott-mn0000150073/biography

This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." 

Swinging (if not essential) music. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/an-evening-with-earl-hines-mw0000027404

Personnel: Piano – Earl Hines; Bass – Hank Young; Drums – Bert Dahlander; Guitar – Tiny Grimes; Lead Vocals – Earl Hines.

Equally skilled as a leader or as a sideman, George Cables helped to define modern mainstream jazz piano of the 1980s and '90s. When he was 18 and at Mannes College, he formed the Jazz Samaritans with Steve Grossman and Billy Cobham. Cables gained recognition during his stints with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Sonny Rollins (both in 1969), Joe Henderson (1969-1971), and Freddie Hubbard (1971-1976). He was with Dexter Gordon (1976-1978) during the tenor's successful return to the United States, and became known as Art Pepper's favorite pianist (1979-1982). In addition to his occasional work with Bebop and Beyond (starting in 1984), Cables appeared in a countless number of situations through the years, and has recorded frequently as a leader, most notably for Contemporary (including the 1979 classic Cables Vision), Concord, and SteepleChase. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/artist/george-cables-mn0000634700/biography
