Frank Wess - Whatever You Want (March 2021 nagel heyer records)

"Frank Wess hits his marks at any tempo ... his playing sounds clear as a bell, as well."
- npr music

"Frank Wess is one of the premier proteges of Lester Young, and a leading jazz flutist of his era — using the latter instrument to bring new colors to Basie's music."
- Scott Yannow
