David 'Fathead' Newman - Fire!

I believe that this is the album pmac was referring to in his comment to the previous post; it is available cheap at Collectables so this is an mp3 copy.

"For this excellent all-around date, David "Fathead" Newman and a fine rhythm section (pianist Kirk
Lightsey, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, bassist David Williams and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) are joined by tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine on "Wide Open Spaces" (a tune that years earlier
Newman had recorded with fellow tenor James Clay), altoist Hank Crawford on "Lonely Avenue" and both Turrentine and Crawford on two other songs. In addition, Newman takes "Filthy McNasty" as a flute feature and is showcased on the opening "Old Devil Moon." An enjoyable set of soulful, straight-ahead jazz." AMG

A really fine live set, must have been some hot stuff to see.

    I purchased it when it first was released. Was a favorite if one if the morning djs on WWOZ at that time (Moose?!?). Wonderful recording. Thanks again KC. I owe you a few brews.

    Thanks didn't Steve Nelson record a ray charles / newman tribute about 5 - 10 years ago? Always liked these players so interested to hear this recording.
