Red
Holloway
is
one
of
the
greatest
tenor
sax

in
the
history
of
jazz,
period.
There's

Stitt,
Griffin
and,
of
course,
Red
is
there.
Red
is
in
his
early
80s
now
so
it
would
be
impossible
to
review
his
career
in
one
short
paragraph
so
let's
just
say
on
Go
Red
Go,
Holloway
returns
home
to
Chicago
where
he
grew
up
and
gets
down
with
some
good,
greasy
organ
combo
music.
Wonderful
accompaniment
from
Chris
Foreman,
Hammond
B3
organ,
George
Freeman,
guitar
and
Greg
Rockingham,
drums.
Great
blend
of
straight
ahead
jazz,
blues
and
ballads.

One
Steady
Roll
Delmark DE 250 (CD)
Jazz clarinetist Garvin Bushell's 1988 autobiography is rightly titled "Jazz From the Beginning". Bushell recorded with great pianists -- James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Jelly Roll Morton -- and with important swing orchestras, such as those led by Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway and Chick Webb. In mid-century Bushell recorded with many of the period's greatest jazz names, including John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Gil Evans, and King Curtis. This 1982 session features Garvin Bushell, clarinet, bassoon; Richard Hadlock, soprano sax; Ray Skjelbred, piano; Stu Wilson, bass; John Markham, drums; Leon Oakley, cornet; Barbara Lashley, vocals on 3 songs.
