Leo Wright & Lalo Schifrin, 1960
For Leo Wright, transcending the limitations of blues chord sequences seemed to come naturally. At times shoutin’ with Arnett Cobbian delight and almost as vigorous a master of the startling entrance as Dexter Gordon, Wright’s command of the alto saxophone on fast tunes such as State Trooper and Poopsie’s Minor as well as slower numbers that keep the customer attentive, is definitely on par.
