Great Jazz Tenor Saxophone

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Originally issued as part of a Tower Records exclusive series of ten compilations, the repertoire for each culled from the Blue Note catalog. Series is Tower branded, with logos built into the artwork (spine and tray card), as well as being included on a custom hype sticker found on each title. Pretty sure these have found themselves back to the marketplace sans the Tower branding.
