Coleman Hawkins Don Byas Johnny Hodges Barney Bigard Lester Young Flip Phillips Ben Webster Dickie Wells Eddie Heywood - Saxophone Giants
Review by Pierre Schiller
Saxophone Giants is a timeless album that features some of the most legendary names in jazz history. Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas, Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Lester Young, Flip Phillips, Ben Webster, Dickie Wells, and Eddie Heywood all come together to create a masterpiece that showcases their individual talents and unique styles.
The album is a collection of classic jazz tunes, including "Body and Soul," "Stompin' at the Savoy," and "Perdido." Each track features a different saxophonist, allowing listeners to appreciate the distinct sound and approach of each musician. From the smooth and soulful playing of Hawkins to the fiery and energetic solos of Phillips, every saxophonist brings something special to the table.
The accompanying musicians, including pianist Heywood and trombonist Wells, provide a solid foundation for the saxophonists to build upon. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, and each one seems to inspire the others to reach new heights.

You gotta have balls to name a song like this in a time when there's not google auto correct or any form of general search function. You got to go talk to a guy and ask him to hear that VOODTE song And how do you even pronounce that
Dazzling mighty sound
great tune!
Good but not as great as his fabulous 1943's version with Heywood and Pettiford....
althought hawk did it earlier ,, zoot did it better later one as an up tempo tune .
