Black Lion Connoisseur/Lions Abroad, Vol. 1: Tenor Titans (1996)

About this title: A two-disc set of largely European recordings made by visiting and touring American tenor jazzmen between 1962 and 1971. The only ringer is a New York date from 1962 with Bud Freeman and a 1946 session with Wardell Gray. The material is good and most of the players sound relaxed, even if the European musicians don't always play in the pocket. Cub Koda, All Music Guide
