Ronnie Cuber - Straight Street

One of the few exponents of that most unrelenting instrument, baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber has spent for more than a half century performing, composing, arranging and leading his own groups. His robust, no-nonsense playing has been acknowledged to be one of the greats among jazz instrumentalists.

Best of all, there's Cuber himself, whose playing has, incredibly, grown more authoritative with each passing year. His sound, huge and affable, brims with personality, and it's hard not to be awed by the freshness� - J. D. Considine, JazzTimes on 'Ronnie's Trio' (SCCD31848)

Personnel: Ronnie Cuber (baritone saxophone), George Colligan (piano), Cameron Brown (bass), Joe Farnsworth (drums).
