sleeve : EX(SOC)

An album released by Prestige in 1962, featuring American tenor saxophonists Oliver Nelson, King Curtis, and Jimmy Forrest. It contains recordings from 1960, performed by a sextet including Gene Casey (p), George Duvivier (b), and Roy Haynes (ds). As the title suggests, this is a masterful performance showcasing the soulful playing of all three artists, with tracks such as the lighthearted boogie-jazz A1/B1 and the blues-jazz A2/B2, which unfolds with a relaxed groove. This is a 1988 US reissue released by Original Jazz Classics.
