Last week I gave away five copies of alto saxophonist Nick Hempton‘s The Business. All you had to do to win one was send me a list of some of your favorite alto saxophone-led recordings. And some of you did. So I’ve put tracks from the albums you selected into the second Burning Ambulance Spotify playlist, which can be heard (if you’ve got Spotify) by clicking this link.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this 15-song, one-hour set of music:
Charlie Parker, “Ko Ko”
Greg Osby, “All Neon Like”
Ornette Coleman, “Focus on Sanity”
Jackie McLean, “I’ll Keep Loving You”
Kenny Garrett, “Giant Steps”
Steve Wilson, “Wish You Were Here”
Miguel Zenon, “Penta”
Cannonball Adderley, “Autumn Leaves”
Joe Lovano, “Central Park West”
Arthur Blythe, “Lenox Avenue Breakdown”
Paul Desmond, “Take Ten”
David Binney, “Welcome to Life”
David Sanborn, “Crossfire”
Lee Konitz, “I Remember You”
Sonny Stitt, “Ko Ko”
(Winners of the CDs will be notified this week.)
