jeffcrom Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I saw this last night, but was too tired to come up with a post. Battiste was an extremely important figure in New Orleans music. His saxophone playing was probably not the most important part of his legacy, but I enjoy his tenor contributions to the AFO In the Beginning album by the American Jazz Quintet. RIP. Quote
jazzkrow Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 He is great on Gulf Coast Jazz-Vol. 1, on VSOP Records. Session is from Feb. 1959 and also features Ellis Marsalis, Alvin Batiste on clarinet and Ed Blackwell (!) on drums Quote
