From the vinyl LP Illinois Jacquet Jazz Flight
The great tenor sax virtuoso Illinois Jacquet Is perhaps the most famous member of the multitalented Jacquet clan. Performing with such luminaries as Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman, Jacquet has earned the reputation of being a volatile and exciting performer.
Some of Jacquets most famous sessions were immortalized with Norman Granz' memorable series "Jazz at the Philharmonic," and other historic "jams" included performances with Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie and the great Count Basie. Currently, Illinois Jacquet is a perennial guest artist at the Newport Jazz Festival and continues his role as a teatured soloist at concert and club appearances both in the United States and overseas.

Jean-Baptiste "Illinois" Jacquet (October 30, 1922 - July 22, 2004) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, best remembered for his solo on "Flying Home", critically recognized as the first R&B saxophone solo.
Although he was a pioneer of the honking tenor saxophone that became a regular feature of jazz playing and a hallmark of early rock and roll, Jacquet was a skilled and melodic improviser, both on up-tempo tunes and ballads. He doubled on the bassoon, one of only a few jazz musicians to use the instrument.

All posts are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs. This channel does not use recordings from CDs. As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album. Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of the loudness wars.
Hope you enjoy.
