Frank Wess

~ Person

Annotation

A major flutist, Mr Wess was also a strong tenor and alto saxophonist, not to mention his arranger talents.
Not only a valuable sideman, he also recorded two dozens albums on his own, mainly for Savoy.
Jazz for Playboys is highly recommended, as a good-cool starter.
