Work Time

High-velocity hard bop led by a muscular tenor saxophone. Recorded in 1955, it captures a master improviser turning showtunes into complex, rhythmic puzzles.

The ultimate 'get-stuff-done' jazz record from the man with the biggest saxophone sound in history.

An authoritative and witty display of technical mastery that feels both productive and deeply soulful.
