I am interested in purchasing tenor saxophone recordings that are
(relatively) slow and (absolutely) pretty.  I know that certain
sax players are noted for this (Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins)
but  I need more specific suggestions.  I want to avoid buying 
albums that are heavy on the contributions of sidemen (ie. the
Lester Young/Teddy Wilson sessions)  and concentrate on small combos
with the accent on the sax.  I would appreciate any suggestions -
artists or albums or specific cuts - that you could offer.


Attention flamers about classical's white elitism:

We're talking about Black Music here - so put up or shut up.
