Billy Strayhorn - Lush Life (Red Baron, 1964-65)

Being Tete I am a bit biased... Seriously, it is an ok (but not earthshaking) disc, the only commercial one Tete did with a big band (other than some available recordings with German radio orchestras and the European All Stars concert). The arrangements by Zé Eduardo are good and there is some nice soloing by Tete and two of the major Spanish saxophonists, Eladio Reinón and Perico Sambeat. It should be available at Discmedi website.

" (...) When Mr. Rollins hit the national jazz scene in the early 1950s, he seemed to possess a new kind of energy. Unlike Coleman Hawkins or Lester Young, whose mantle he picked up, Mr. Rollins rarely purred into his horn. He sounded as if he were trying to push himself fully into every note, intentionally and bodily and without guile — as if it were the only way he would have any shot at getting his point across.
