Red Holloway - Sax, Strings & Soul (1965)

A rare captured outing whereby Tenorist Red Holloway in a European setting is backed by a full orchestra.  He chooses to play a contemporary array of tunes from the mid 60’s. His tone as always is majestic and well pronounced alongside a cleverly arranged set of charts by none other than Benny Golson. A time honoured classic not easily found, Enjoy!
