Synopsis

Product Description
Saxophonist LENNY PICKETT's first album in decades, with the UMO JAZZ ORCHESTRA of Finland. After his breakthrough stint with TOWER OF POWER, he has been the sax soloist on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. LP's is THE saxophone voice of our time.


Pickett is a current member of the Saturday Night Live band and a long-time leader of the Tower of Power horn section.
During the '70s, the Tower of Power was the dominant session horn group, cutting their own successful R&B/funk/pop records and backing a host of stars from Elton John to many soul and R&B acts. Pickett continued with the group until the mid-'80s, then made a solo release as a leader. He is a stirring, blues-laden player who functions best doing short, tart solos in the middle of R&B/blues/pop pieces, but not a jazz player in the conventional sense. ~ Ron Wynn
