Curtis Amy and Frank Butler – Groovin' Blue

 

Curtis Amy & Frank Butler – Groovin’ Blue (1961 Jazz LP)

Pacific Jazz records  1961 – PJ-19

notes:

Groovin’ Blue — an exceptional album by jazz tenor saxophonist 

Curtis Amy and drummer Frank Butler.

Originally recorded in late 1960 and early 1961 and released on 

the Pacific Jazz label, Groovin’ Blue stands as one of the standout 

recordings of its era. Though Curtis Amy’s name may not be as 

instantly recognizable as some of his contemporaries, his robust 

and earthy tenor sax tone is a thrilling listening experience 

for anyone exploring hard‑bop and West Coast jazz aesthetics.
