CEDAR WALTON PLAYS /Octet/Delos1986 DDD/Carter, Higgins torrent

Cedar Anthony Walton Jr. (1934-2013)



"CEDAR WALTON PLAYS" is the 26th of appx 40 albums Cedar Walton recorded as leader.

This octet session includes "the three T's" (Trumpet, Trombone, Tenor) and 2 more

sax voices - in other words 5 horns and rhythm.



5 horns affords the writer many options for thick harmonies and ensemble sounds.


The 11 minute take of Benny Golson's OUT OF THE PAST is the record's high point IMO.
