Frontiers
Genre: Jazz
Review: Two tenor saxes in a stellar quintet creates long blowing sessions around some old jazz gems with a multitude of solos. Azar Lawrence is the man McCoy Tyner chose to work with after Coltrane died and he has been a sideman for many other well known musicians. Al McLean is one of the top Canadian players. Together they make terrific music.
FCCs: none
