Gone with Golson AFAN538 and the very essence ofOriginally released in 1959, Gone With Golson marks saxophonist Benny Golson's fifth album and stands as a prime example of the hard bop era. The record, a real classic from one of the genre's great composers, features four original Golson compositions alongside Ray Bryant's 'Staccato Swing' and a beautiful rendition of the jazz standard 'Autumn Leaves.' From 'Staccato Swing' to 'Blues After Dark', this is fast paced, expressive jazz at its best.
