Al Cohn Meets the Jazz Seven – Keeper of the Flame (Vinyl LP, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz House Records, 1992) – NM / EX

Keeper of the Flame brings American tenor saxophonist Al Cohn together with the Jazz Seven for a warmly swinging session rooted in the mainstream jazz tradition. Cohn’s relaxed, lyrical tenor style sits naturally within the larger ensemble, with crisp arrangements and an emphasis on melodic, straight-ahead playing. A fine later recording from one of the most distinctive tenor players to emerge from the post-war American jazz scene.
