Product Description
Contents: Lynn Hope, the enigmatic honker who wears a turban and blows the saxophone with overflowing power. He occupies a somewhat ambiguous position as a honker in the vein of King Curtis and Louis Jordan, but with a rather delicate sound. However, he pioneered the uncharted territory of R&B saxophone, a talented musician who predates Sam "The Man" Taylor, singing the hit songs of the time with his saxophone. Although Hope's career lasted only a few years, he was later revered by London DJs and unexpectedly re-evaluated! This compilation album features some of his finest R&B saxophone performances!
