A superb hard-swinging jazz session from tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate, recorded live in Paris and featuring the legendary organist Milt Buckner. Released on the respected Black & Blue label, this album captures a soulful, blues-driven performance with warmth and energy typical of late-1960s European jazz recordings.
Highlights include the classic “Mack the Knife”, alongside deep blues cuts and swinging standards. Buckner’s organ work provides a rich, driving foundation while Tate’s tenor sax delivers expressive, melodic phrasing throughout.
A great addition for collectors of mainstream jazz, swing, and organ-led jazz ensembles, especially fans of Black & Blue recordings.
