For many,
Arnett Cobb is the prototypical "Texas Tenor." His robust tone and aggressive playing were highlighted both with
Lionel Hampton's band and later on his own recordings. This 20-track set chronicles all of
Cobb's work under his own name, as well as sides with
Milt Buckner and
Herbie Fields with the Hamptone All Stars. Highlights include the bluesy "Down Home," "Still Flyin'," "Running With Ray," and "Cobb's Idea."
