Lennie Niehaus - Complete Fifties Recordings [CD]

This four-CD set brings together 80 tracks of Lennie Niehaus’s early recordings as a leader, presented in chronological order. It is a collection for listeners interested in Niehaus’s work as an alto saxophonist, arranger and composer and the West Coast jazz scene.

The recordings were originally released across six Contemporary and one EmArcy LPs, and are gathered together on a single set for the first time. Niehaus did not record another jazz album under his own name until 1989.

Bonus material includes three small-group tracks featuring Niehaus’s only collaborations with Howard Rumsey, plus a complete album by conductor and arranger Duane Tatro, with Niehaus on alto saxophone on most tracks.
