Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Earl Bostic was the most prolific recording artist in the history of King Records, even eclipsing the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. During his tenure with King, Bostic recorded well over three hundred sides between January 1949 and August 1963. Equally proficient on saxophone, clarinet and flute, his instrument of choice was the alto saxophone. His popularity as both a recording artists and in live appearances made him an extremely influential role model for others such as Tab Smith.Earl Bostic's legacy as the premier alto sax artist of the 1950s is secure. While Charlie Parker is of course renowned on the instrument as well, no one has ever approached the level of record sales which Bostic achieved during the era or since. This CD is an excellent introduction to his artistry as performed fifty years ago.
