This CD collects together tenor saxophonist
Paul Bascomb
's
United
recordings of 1952. The material is pretty basic and
R&B-ish
, but fun, with the highlights including
"Blues and the Beat,"
"Pink Cadillac,"
"Soul and Body,"
and
"Indiana."
The backup group includes trumpeter
Eddie Lewis
and pianist
Duke Jordan
, and the CD reissue adds four alternate takes to the original 13 selections. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
