RICHIE KAMUCA

QUARTET & OCTET

TENOR AHEAD
Description:
You rarely heard his name mentioned among the greatest of his instrument, but Richie Kamuca 1930 1977 was a superb tenor saxophonist who deserved better recognition in his lifetime. He led a fine well rounded career in big bands, and his gifts as a soloist made him much in demand in small groups. If, initially, his languid, laid back swing, light tone and lithe phrasing marked him as a Lester Young alumnus, over the years he developed into a hard driving soloist with a distinctive style of his own. Although he left an extensive recorded legacy as a sideman, he also left some very distinguished albums as a leader, rarities to treasure. This CD set aims to revive an essential part of the musical legacy of a rare and unforgettable talent.
