Jimmy Forrest Out of the Forrest

180g Vinyl LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!
Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray!
Since Coleman Hawkins established the tenor saxophone in jazz, it has become an integral part of him. The masters of this instrument make houses shake with their lively blues and tame wild beasts with their tender love ballads. Jimmy Forrest, born in St. Louis, Missouri, played with Fate Marable in the 1930s, later with Jay McShann, and in the 50s as Ben Webster's successor to Duke Ellington. On "Out of the Forrest" he leads a quartet that consisted of Austrian pianist Joe Zawinul, double bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Clarence Johnston.

From the time Coleman Hawkins firmly established the tenor saxophone on the jazz map, it has been one of the most potent forces in the music, its best practitioners able to raise the roof with a jumping blues, soothe the savage beast with a tender love ballad, and do just about anything in between. At the time of this recording (1961), Jimmy Forrest, the St. Louis-born reedman, was a veteran of the Fate Marable, Jay McShann, Andy Kirk, and Duke Ellington bands. Later in his career he starred with Count Basie. Here he leads a quartet of teammates from the combo of "Sweets" Edison, including the young Austrian pianist Joe Zawinul, through a gamut of the aforementioned moods from "Crash Program" to the caressing "That's All," with a few tips of the cap to Ben Webster along the way. With Joe Zawinul, Tommy Potter and Clarence Johnston.
