Summary: where did he go?
Comment: since jazz is not my forte if i heard this anywhere without knowing what it was i would have thought it to be one of the jazz giants of the 50's and 60's. somehow this cd crosses the gap of classic jazz to smooth jazz but it is not smooth jazz as defined today.
doing songs by charlie parker,sonny stitt,sonny rollins,acker bilk will give you a feel of the prowess of this young sax musician. playing with him are recognizable names as clark terry,nicholas payton, benny green and kenny washington.
so the question remains WHY HASN'T HE RECORDED AGAIN AS A SOLO ACT? this cd was released in 1991 and this is the only cd that comes up when you put amani a. w.-murray in the search box here at amazon. anyway for $.o1 + shipping you can get this treasure. don't miss out!

Summary: Is he 14 or 40?
Comment: It is difficult to believe, because of the maturity and well-craftedness of this album, that Amani A.W. Murray was only a young teenager when he made it. Recording for major jazz record label GRP, which is home to such jazz stalwarts as David Benoit, The Rippingtons, and Nelson Rangell, the kid sounds right at home with such distinguished company, especially on the eight minute sax-blues masterpiece "Blues For The Blues".
