Review:
A fine, soulful jazz date, mostly slow blues and ballads, from one of the kings of honky-tonk saxophone. Jackson's smooth, Ben Webster-ish tenor playing is seldom surprising, but always satisfying. Originally recorded in 1961 for Prestige, this album was reissued in Japan in the early '90s.
