HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN COLTRANE Tenor Madness is a musical ensemble formed through the instigation of the Philadelphia Jazz Project for a Pop Up Concert at the Reading Terminal Market back in 2014. The group was led by late saxophonist and bandleader, Sam Reed and has featured a who’s who of Philadelphia area saxophonists, including Charles Cunningham, Tim Price, Elliott Levin, Carl Grubbs, Terry Lawson, Korey Riker, Yesseh Ali, Michael Pedicin, Larry McKenna, Josh Lee, Dylan Band, Gilberto Cruz, Pete Chavez and Julian Pressley. The name Tenor Madness is a tribute to the 1956 Sonny Rollins recording of the same name, that is most notable as being the only known recording featuring both saxophone giants, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. On Saturday afternoon, September 17, 2016, at East Park Reservoir in Fairmount Park, the gentlemen of Tenor Madness came together to honor John Coltrane as part of during an all day, outdoor celebration called, The Jazz Walk - Giant Steps. The group consisted of saxophonists, (the late) Sam Reed, Larry McKenna, Julian Pressley, (the late) Tim Price, Pete Chavez, Gilberto Cruz and (the late) Charles Cunningham (89 year old friend of John Coltrane's), as well as bassist, Kenny Davis and drummer Jeff Johnson. PJP is proud to share the music created by these gentlemen that afternoon on the mixtape, Tenor Madness - Jazz Walk Mixtape.
