Leo Parker was the reigning be-bop king of the baritone sax in the '40s and one of the most exciting saxophonists of any era. He dropped off the radar in the '50s, but made an incredible comeback in 1961 with this fantastic sextet. His triumph was to be short-lived however; he died six months after making this swinging album. |
