## Resource

The mostly forgotten tenor sax of Lucky Thompson was very prominent in the 1940's with Count Basie, Charlie Parker and on his own. By 1956 he was becoming disillusioned with the music business and was shortly to move to Paris for several years. Just before that he worked with the Milt Jackson Quintet (on Savoy) and Sextet (on Atlantic) to produce several exceptional recording sessions featuring those two along with Wade Legge, Hank Jones, John Lewis, Kenny Clarke, Wendell Marshall, Oscar Pettiford and Skeeter Best.
