• David Newman, James Clay (ts), Wynton Kelly (p), Sam Jones, Paul Chambers (b), Art Taylor, Charlie Persip (d)

• David “Fathead” Newman was best known for his long association with Ray Charles, but there was much more to him as his two 1960 LPs reveal.

• The first album “The Sound of the Wide Open Spaces!,” introduces a quintet with Newman and fellow Texan James Clay, both on tenor, swinging hard, generating a tremendous amount of excitement and emotional involvement. The follow-up, “Straight Ahead,” features a quartet showcasing Newman not only on tenor, but also producing persuasive performances on alto and flute
