About This Item
Tenor sax man Jackie Kelso was one of the most sought after session players during the golden age of rock n' roll and early rhythm and blues. His saxophone features prominently on many of the era's biggest hits including Sam Cooke's InchTwistin' the Night Away,Inch Johnny Otis' InchTry MeInch and Gene Vincent's InchSay MamaInch to name just a few. Jackie later played on many of Phil Spector's InchWall of SoundInch productions and also backed Little Richard before returning to his first love - jazz and currently, now in his 80's, plays with the Count Basie Orchestra. In the late 1950's he waxed the vintage instrumentals presented here for the Los Angeles based Vita tag. These ultra-rare recordings have been newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. Blue Moon 2. Smiles 3.
