Night Train
The early 1950s found Forrest, a big-toned tenor saxophonist recently departed from the Duke Ellington Orchestra, waxing sides for a pop market clamoring after robust and sensual sounds. Melding two Ellington songs, he came up with the jukebox staple "Night Train," included here with sixteen more R&B; tunes that pleasingly evidence his affinity for blues and jazz.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
