Frank Catalano, Jimmy Chamberlin, David Sanborn - Bye Bye Blackbird (2016)

Frank Catalano - Tenor Saxophone; Jimmy Chamberlin - Drums; David Sanborn - Alto Saxophone (Tracks 2 & 3); Nir Felder - Guitar; Demos Petropoulos - Hammond B3 Organ.

Catalano’s instantly recognizable, powerful and dynamic tenor playing — yet at the same time nimble and thoughtful — is on full display on Bye Bye Blackbird. To stay true to his Chicago roots, the album pays homage to his heroes and mentors Von Freeman — affectionately known throughout Chicago as Vonski — and Eddie Harris.
