Arnett Blows for 1300

Arnett Blows For 1300 is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Arnett Cobb, compiling recordings from 1947 originally released on Apollo Records, that was released by the Delmark label in 1995.

Reception

Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "The spirited tenor (who straddled the boundaries between swing and early R&B) is in prime early form with his sextet on a variety of basic material, much of it blues-oriented. ... This very accessible music is both danceable and full of exciting performances that were formerly rare".
