Sonny Red - Out of the Blue - Tone Poet LP

Blue Note Tone Poet Series, All-Analog 180g Vinyl LP

Detroit-born alto saxophonist Sonny Red made only one album as a leader for Blue Note, but Out of the Blue remains a gem of the catalog deserving wider recognition. Red's lightly swinging style shines across bluesy originals and obscure standards drawn from two 1959-60 quartet sessions featuring Wynton Kelly, with rhythm sections that included Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue band.
