Arnett Cobb et son orchestre : 1946-1947

For many, Arnett Cobb is the prototypical “Texas Tenor.” His robust tone and aggressive playing were highlighted both with Lionel Hampton’s band and later on his own recordings. This 20-track set chronicles all of Cobb’s work under his own name, as well as sides with Milt Buckner and Herbie Fields with the Hamptone All Stars. Highlights include the bluesy “Down Home,” “Still Flyin’,” “Running With Ray,” and “Cobb’s Idea.” – Cub Koda
