Description:
This is the first ever CD to present the work of the legendary tenor saxophonist Morris Lane, known during his solo career as "The Tenor Saxsation." Many jazz aficionados remember Lane because he was briefly an alumnus of the school for precocious jazz talent that was the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, occupying the star tenor saxophonist seat previously filled by Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb. He also played with the Earl Hines Orchestra and additionally pursued a solo career, at the height of the honking sax craze, in R&B. His solo recordings for the Savoy, Coral, Sunrise and Apollo labels are included on this 28 track CD on which he plays with the orchestras of Lionel Hampton, Earl Hines, and Curley Hamner. |
