Lucky Thompson was a national treasure – an amazing musician who spent many decades completely under the radar. He was fluent on several instruments including soprano sax before Coltrane had even started to play it. Thompson played with Bird and many others — even Stan Kenton on Cuban Fire. He’s one of the most neglected musicians of the twentieth century.
It’s good that some have not forgotten him.
I’ve never heard Bongo Jazz … congratulations… an excellent find.
