THE ATLANTA SAX All-STARS
THE ATLANTA SAX ALL-STARS
HSR 105
If there was any doubt, “The Atlanta Saxophone All-Stars” announces that Atlanta competes in the realm of world-class jazz saxophonists. Four fabulous and highly individual musicians are featured here with names that will soon be of the household variety: Gary Harris, Brian Hogans, Mace Hibbard, and Sam Skelton.
Limiting this disc to only four saxophonists was a necessity. Adding more would mean glossing over great musicians without adequate representation. But let the record show that more phenomenal saxophonists abound in Atlanta—all leaders in their own rights, all killin’.
​
The All-stars are joined by an A-list local rhythm section while Johnny O'Neal rounds out the offering with his special brand of keyboard creativity on 5 of the tunes.
