Live

by Scott YanowRecorded in Holland, this fine live set features veteran tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb jamming with a European rhythm section (pianist Rein de Graaff, bassist Jacques Schols and drummer John Engels). The tenor always seemed on the verge of exploding and was still in prime form, as can be heard on four basic standards and his blues "Cobb's Idea." A lesser-known but rewarding effort, one of Cobb's best from his later years.
