I bought this CD for a penny if you can believe that, I listened to cuts on Amazon and thought I would give it a try. What a treat not a weak song on the whole CD, so I bought his other four and not a bad song on any of them either. This is rare there is almost always some filler, not here these CD's are all worth owning. This man can perform like no one else, very clean playing and he sounds like no one I have heard before. I love his Sax playing and the way his music is structured. He is one of a kind, I wish there was more music from him.
I have heard of Art Porter before and have heard some of his music on my local jazz station. One day at work, I heard "Meltdown" (Track #10) on an internet radio program and was absolutely blown away. I had to get this CD after hearing that track. Art Porter was (and still is) one of the greatest musicians that I have heard, and this CD is no exception to his fantastic work. Five stars, all the way.
His pitch and tone are the best. His vibratto on the sax is absolutely awesome, and I loved the music he wrote. I so wish that he were still alive. He is sorely missed.
