1. Finally, another highly individualistic album: "Metamorphosis" by the World Saxophone Quartet ( Elektra-Nonesuch ); not so well known in the UK as an ensemble, its members - David Murray (tenor sax, bass clarinet), Oliver Lake (alto, soprano saxophones and flute), Hamiet Bluiett (baritone sax) and Arthur Blythe (alto sax) - are however individually (and, as you will find, jointly) something rather special.
2. Max is a jazz musician, a black cat with Negro features, who owns a talking saxophone, his Alto Ego.
3. Probably anticipating the enhancing of the already considerable temperature that might ensue from a stretch of proven hell-raising, Pukwana called for a blues, and set about declaring his intent with that impassioned alto cry (the instrument in his hands displaying the weight of the tenor as well as the wild, wayward quality of the higher horn) that has been thrilling British audiences since the Sixties.
4. The personnel present at this session (about which there is some doubt) reads like a who's who of jazz: Parker (alto sax), Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie (trumpets), Sadik Hakim and/or Bud Powell (piano), Curly Russell (double bass) and Max Roach (drums).
5. These titles are retrospectives, released by Savoy shortly after Parker's premature death (aged 35); with this handful of LPs, Savoy sought to encompass the late great alto saxophonist's complete Savoy discography, which to all intents and purposes they do.
6. One such is "Opus de Bop" ( ), a collection of three distinct sessions from 1946 and "47 and three fascinating groups: a quartet led by the late great tenor saxophonist Stan Getz (Hank Jones piano, Curly Russell bass and Max Roach on drums); a quintet featuring influential arch-bebop pianist Bud Powell (Sonny Stitt alto sax, Kenny Dorham trumpet, Al Hall bass and Wallace Bishop on drums); and trumpeter Fats Navarro's quintet (Leo Parker alto and baritone sax, Tadd Dameron piano, Gene Ramey bass and Denzil Best drums).
7. His pedigree may be long, but nevertheless here he is on piano and electronic keyboards leading his own band for the first time on disc with the driving drums of Jeff "Tain" Watts (also of Branford Marsalis group fame), Branford himself on tenor sax, Roderick Ward (alto sax), Charnett Moffett, Chris McBridge, Robert Hurst or Andy Gonzales (all alternating on bass), Jerry Gonzales (percussion) and on one track Steve Berrios and on two Don Alias (both on drums, percussion).
8. One of them was complaining in a quiet, slow alto voice that her husband was in the habit of leaving everything lying on the floor; books, socks, newspapers, even matches and pipes.
9. Joseph Crossman, alto saxophonist and clarinettist, born London March 1905, died London 4 October 1989.
10. They provided seats around three old elm trees, which were named Bass, Alto and Tenor.
11. ODDLY enough, although he was for almost 50 years a pillar of the British dance band scene, by his own account Joe Crossman's only popular acclaim was given to him in the United States for his beautiful alto saxophone solo on Stanley Black's mid-Forties recording of Django Reinhardt's ballad "Nuages".
12. THE ALTO saxophonist Arthur Blythe is just about the most accessible performer to come out of the free jazz movement of the '60s and '70s.
