Arnett Cobb Blues & Ballads, Feat. Red Garland's Trio
Released : 9 January 2014)
Label: Fresh Sound Records
Format: Mp3@320



Tenor man Arnett Cobb, became known in the ‘40s for his honking, stomping and general full-bodied, expansive style displayed with Lionel Hampton’s band and his own group on the kind of business that Louis Jordan had covered for so long. The 1960 recordings gathered here brought to the fore the hushed, boastful tone and good taste, along with the swinging debt to Coleman Hawkins, obvious throughout—though it must be admitted that Cobb is very much his own man, with a fully assimilated, personal style.
