"Jazzy Celebration: San Diego jazz mainstay Gary LeFebvre began playing professionally here in 1956. The tireless tenor saxophonist moved to Los Angeles three years later to join vibraphonist Terry Gibbs' Dream Band. Since then, he has worked across the United States and Europe, performing with everyone from Fellow saxophonists Art Pepper and Illinois Jacquet to San Kenton, Mose Allison and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. ..." George Varga, San Diego, Union-Tribune, Monday, February 21, 2005.
This album is unique due to the unaccompanied tennor suite at the end of which I composed and dedicated to Frank Butler's memory. As far as I know, nothing like this has been done before. It's totally improvised, with nothing written down on paper.
