Yee man, there is so much great stuff with this saxophonist. May I advice you listen other side of this great artust in "Cuban Fire" with Stan kenton.?
John Linsdtröm You have your history backwards. It is Lucky who influenced Coltrane among many others including Johnny Griffin, Harold Land, Clifford Jordan and many more. And I find NOTHING missing from Lucky's playing. He was one of the true masters.
Talking with Greg Fishman years ago, he said the same thing. I can’t hear it myself, and I’ve listened to gobs of both men, as well as playing the horn professionally myself for 30 years. To me, it’s all Lucky. He dried out his tone, took a lot of the richness and depth and yes, the vibrato out of it, but his approach is his own.
Listening this 5 years after my first comment here. My goodness, Lucky wernt higher than ever in this theme.
WOW!!
what a wonderful version by Lucky!!!!
Holy crap. Just learning about Lucky. Amazing.

Jesus - this is completely insane! My discography lists this session as unissued - has that changed? Thanks for sharing, in any case.
Is Lucky playing alto sax on this session?
Soprano until the bridge, then tenor.
soprane
He shows Coltrane influence! Vibrato is gone! Lucky's old warmth is missing.

Exactly... Lucky is the real deal
