Sil Austin Red Prysock, Battle Royal (1959)

Sil Austin Red Prysock, Battle Royal (1959)
Tuesday's lunch record is a tenor sax slug fest pitting Sil Austin against Red Prysock. This album is on the Mercury label. It is billed as the Tenor Sax Championship of the world, division Rock and Roll and Jazz. What a musical sparring match ensues as each of these hot high energy sax men go on to blow their brains out. Who wins the jury is still out on that one. The album contains three tracks two long blow outs "No. Sil", "Take The A Train" and a shorter jazz blues one by guitarist Kenny Burrell titled Kenny's blues. The YouTube sample song is "No. 1 Sil" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmx86Z29xZw . . bucko
