Black Forrest


Black Forrest is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Jimmy Forrest recorded in 1959 but not released by the Delmark label until 1972. The album features alternate takes and five other songs recorded at the sessions that produced All the Gin Is Gone.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Forrest sounds fine, guitarist Grant Green was making his debut on record, and the rhythm section plays up to par. Get All the Gin Is Gone first, and then, if one wants to hear the rest of the story, this set".
