Description
Here is a great portrait of the master of the bass saxophone, Adrian Rollini (1904-1956), giving a hugely enjoyable cross-section of his many classic jazz recordings from the 20s and 30s. Rollini was a prodigious talent (he gave a Chopin concert at the age of four!); he became a composer, arranger, bandleader and a multi-instrumentalist playing vibraphone, goofus, hot fountain pen, cello and piano - but he is famous as the man who put the huge bass saxophone on the map as a jazz instrument. "Swing Low" is a showcase for Rollini's unique talents. Rollini is heard on most of the instruments mentioned, but especially on his uniquely uncumbersome-sounding brass monster sax.
