This Arkadia Records album, recipient of a Grammy Nomination, is dedicated to honoring the legacy of seven of the all-time greats of the tenor saxophone - Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Benny Golson, Zoot Sims, and Ben Webster. Musical mastermind Benny Golson leads this extraordinary session with fellow tenor saxophonists Branford Marsalis, James Carter and Harold Ashby, culminating in the historic, Grammy nominated Arkadia Records album Benny Golson: Tenor Legacy. The stellar rhythm section (Geoff Keezer, Dwayne Burno, and Joe Farnsworth) provides splendid support for the four renowned saxophonists.
