What Went Before, Vol. 1

From a founding member of the 70's band Catalyst to his performances with Max Roach, Odean has always maintained a unique and identifiable sound on the tenor saxophone. On this recording we find him performing on two different trio dates. Within the trio he is really able to open up his big bold sound. Excellent interplay between drums, bass and saxophone. This CD is the first in a series of Odean Pope's trio work that has been previously out of print. Volume 2 will be made available late 2008.
