O’s Notes: There are 21 different sax players blowing steam; from Sonny Rollins’ 1956 “Tenor Madness” to the croonin’ alto of Sonny Stitt on 1964’s “Sonny’s Book”. In between, there is swing, bebop, blues and upbeat pairings like “Dee Dee’s Dance” featuring Eddie”Lockjaw” Davis and Johnny Griffin… Eleven cuts that document the popular jam sessions of the era.
