For someone still recording, producing very assessible sax orientated recordings of jazz standards try Houston Persons. I'm fond of a recent recording by him doing a duet w/Ron Carter but he has 6 or 7 others with a standard grouping recorded on High Note CD's. I'm partial to "Blue Velvet". You might also like Ron Carter's recordings with his own group.
Requesting jazz quartet CD suggestions
I heard some great live club quartet Jazz that I loved recently on a business trip with a rental car equipped with XM radio. I didn't figure out how to push a specific button to identify the artist and CD name until I turned the car in (stupid me) or I could have written down dozens of potential CDs to peruse. This Jazz was not "cool jazz" or "smooth" jazz, but real live quartet Jazz with drums, bass, horns and piano. Can you guys direct me to some well recorded CDs that might fit this bill? Thanks.
