A couple of months ago, I mentioned that I had been given the privilege and pleasure of writing the liner notes for Scott Robinson’s new album. Today, he announced that the CD has been released. His notice includes background about the project, a link to a promotional video and a link to the company that is releasing Tenormore. Reading what Scott wrote, you may get the feeling that he’s happy with the results. He should be.
Today is the official release day for my new CD, Tenormore. It is my first all-tenor sax album – something that’s been a long time coming – featuring the same 1924 Conn tenor I’ve been playing all these years, that came out of an antique shop in 1975. This is also the first album by my longstanding group with Helen Sung, Martin Wind and Dennis Mackrel. See our little promo video here.
Please help me celebrate my 60th birthday month by checking out this very special project, which has already been rated 4 stars in DownBeat and 4 1/2 stars in All About Jazz. This new album is from Arbors Records (not ScienSonic), and you can pick it up here (trust me, you will be pleasantly surprised at the price!)
An out-and-out plug on Rifftides is rare. This one is an exception we are happy to make.
You failed to mention that the hat Scott is wearing is made out of tenor sax reeds. Kind of a Pork Pie Rico, huh?
