Quincy Jones: King Road Blues

The original Go West, Man! featured Quincy Jones-managed recording sessions by four trumpets and rhythm, four alto saxophones and rhythm, and three tenor saxes and a bari sax with rhythm. Lennie Niehauss Kings Road Blues offers, in addition to its inherent merit as a swinging, funky frolic, a rare opportunity to compare and contrast the styles of all-time great Benny Carter and three of the periods leading West Coast-based altoists.
