It has been a while since I have seen an interesting album cover. Then this morning I happened across Atlantic Jazz: Saxophones<\/em>, a compilation recording of some of the 20th century’s best jazz sax players.<\/p>\n

The following is the AllMusic Review by Heather Phares<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Atlantic Jazz: Saxophones<\/a> gathers some of the label’s most memorable sax performances, including a live version of Rahsaan Roland Kirk<\/a>‘s “If I Loved You,” John Coltrane<\/a>‘s “Giant Steps,” Ornette Coleman<\/a>‘s “Lonely Woman,” Yusef Lateef<\/a>‘s “Russell and Eliot,” and Hank Crawford<\/a>‘s “Lorelei’s Lament.” Sonny Stitt<\/a>, Eddie Harris<\/a>, Charles Lloyd<\/a>, and David “Fathead” Newman<\/a>. Atlantic Jazz: Saxophones<\/a> works as a fine companion piece to Rhino’s Atlantic reissues, featuring definitive cuts from the trad jazz, bop, and free jazz saxophonists that defined the label’s historic roster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If this compilation is something that you’d like to add to your collection, you can find both new and used CDs on Amazon.com<\/a>. If you like to download your music, you might be able to find a site to do so. I didn’t really look into it. The sites I was on didn’t offer any download options.<\/p>\n

In any event, Atlantic Jazz: Saxophones<\/em> has a really interesting retro album cover that reminds us of the time when many of the tunes were first hip<\/em>, and didn’t speak to the masses. While our instrument might have been the king of cool,<\/em> the music it was often used to play spoke to intellectuals or to free thinkers, who hadn’t been swayed by the pablum-serving mass music market.<\/p>\n
