Harold Land Quintet - The Fox [CD]

One of the major contributors in the history of jazz saxophone, Harold Land evolved from his hard bop style in the mid-fifties with the Clifford Brown/Max Roach band into one of the most original soloists in the jazz world. He recorded several albums as a leader, and played and recorded with some of the biggest names in jazz from Thelonious Monk to Billie Holiday. The classic album "The Fox," presented here, was recorded in 1959 with Elmo Hope (piano), DuPree Bolton (trumpet), Herbie Lewis (bass), and Frank Butler (drums). All selections newly remastered.
