The Four Brothers... Together Again! is an album by the saxophonists Herbie Steward, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims and Serge Chaloff, who were collectively known as the Four Brothers, recorded in 1957 for the RCA Records subsidiary Vik label.

In a review for All About Jazz, Marc Myers called the recording "a superb album that shows off the enormous reed work of four seasoned swingers," and wrote: "The saxophonists sounded as one together but went their merry way when playing alone... The emphasis on blended harmonies and Young-like saxes playing together would become the basis for West Coast jazz just a few years later."

A reviewer for Billboard commented: "The blowing is the thing, and the fellows... give fine accountings of themselves." - Wikipedia

Sizzlin' is an album by saxophonist Arnett Cobb recorded in 1960 for the Prestige label.

Arnett Cleophus Cobb (August 10, 1918 – March 24, 1989)[1] was an American tenor saxophonist, sometimes known as the "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax" because of his uninhibited stomping style. Cobb wrote the words and music for the jazz standard "Smooth Sailing" (1951), which Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Decca on her album Lullabies of Birdland. - Wikipedia

Hadley Caliman is the eponymous debut album recorded by American saxophonist Hadley Caliman in 1971 for the Mainstream label.

AllMusic states "Despite the fact that this isn't the most fully confident release in Caliman's Mainstream catalog it is noteworthy for introducing a very solid and creative voice on the tenor horn ... If it has any real faults, it's ultimately that the leader proves too democratic at his own expense. This serves as an introduction to a fine re-appraisal of one of jazz's more forgotten talents" - Wikipedia

Frank Wright Trio is the debut album by saxophonist Frank Wright. It was recorded in November 1965 in New York City, released by ESP-Disk in 1966.. On the album, Wright is joined by bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Tom Price

In an article for All About Jazz, Clifford Allen commented:

The opening 'The Earth' starts with a brief vibrato-heavy and bluesy slow theme on unaccompanied tenor that quickly erupts into a frantic screamer of a solo, a mix of buzzing upper-register cries and low bleating honks, occasional recognizable stock R&B phrases making their way into the melange... Unlike Ayler, there is not a significant amount of solo construction, for it appears Wright was throwing together ideas in a spirit of jubilation. The rhythm section is certainly strong and experienced, and are given ample duet room after Wright's solo ends."

Background of Artist

Arthur Blakey (October 11, 1919 – October 16, 1990) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. He was also known as Abdullah Ibn Buhaina after he converted to Islam for a short time in the late 1940s.[1]

Blakey made a name for himself in the 1940s in the big bands of Fletcher Henderson and Billy Eckstine. He then worked with bebop musicians Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. In the mid-1950s, Horace Silver and Blakey formed The Jazz Messengers, a group which he led for the next 35 years. The group was formed as a collective of contemporaries, but over the years the band became known as an incubator for young talent, including Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, Johnny Griffin, Curtis Fuller, Chuck Mangione, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Cedar Walton, Woody Shaw, Terence Blanchard, and Wynton Marsalis. The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz calls the Jazz Messengers "the archetypal hard bop group of the late 50s."[2]
