David Sills, Journey Together is excellent, (i think the Naxos list price is $6.98). His Bigs disc is great too, maybe even recorded a little better. The Acoustic Jazz Quartet discs he's on are also really good, but i like the above titles more.
Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players
Trane, Rollins, Bird, Desmond, Getz, Hawkins and Lester Young are names that are oftened invoked when the subject of great jazz sax players is brought up. Who are some of your favorite, albeit lesser known, sax players and your favorite recording of theirs? As a sax hack, I'll offer the following suggestions to chew on:
Willis 'Gator' Jackson - Call of the Gators
Red Holloway - In the Red
James Moody - Don't Look Back Now
Tina Brooks - True Blue
King Curtis - Night Train
Serge Chaloff - Blue Serge
