New Orleans’ favorite tenor sax player had a modest hit with the title track, a bouncy instrumental tailor-made for his honkin’ style. The resulting album issued on the Ember label and a stray 45 are collected up here, a loose batch of blues, rockers, smoky jazz ballads, and jumpers. All of these are assigned quaint malt-shop titles like “Teen Dream,” “Hot Rod Special,” “Boppin’ at the Hop,” and “Bee Hive.” But corny titles aside, here’s some classic New Orleans blowing in a variety of settings, all of which work, making for a solid sax album that’s grade-A listening all the way. – Cub Koda
