by Mike Jurkovic
The provenance behind this full-bore blow out recorded in 1967 by Philadelphia tenor sax legend D.B.Shrier differs from most myths in the fact that we now have pure, full-blown proof of what a night in his company sounded like: A scorching combustion of energy, virtuosity and audience adulation. Originally released by Alfa Records in ...
