ALTO SAX: JAMES MOODY / PAUL HORN / LOU DONALDSON / JIMMY WOODS - Four Classic Albums

AVID Jazz is proud to introduce an exciting new addition to our Four Classic Album series, Four Classic Jazz Instrumentalists. We continue with Four Classic Jazz Alto Saxophonists, a re-mastered 2CD set complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details. “James Moody: Last Train From Overbrook”; “Paul Horn: Something Blue”; “Lou Donaldson: Sunny Side Up” and “Jimmy Woods: Awakening” For our next release in this new series we have chosen a diverse range of jazz alto saxophonists who released their debut albums from the mid 1950s to the early 1960s. James Moody had a long career in jazz beginning in the 1940s and stretching into the 2000s! Perhaps best known for his work with his life-long friend Dizzy Gillespie with whom he spent many years both recording and touring with. When he wasn’t with Dizzy he managed to find the time to play with the likes of Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton and Max Roach as well as leading his own fine bands on many splendid albums under his own name
