Formed in 1982 and comprised of altoists
Bobby Watson and
Ed Jackson,
Rich Rothenberg on tenor, and baritonst
Jim Hartog,
the 29th Street Saxophone Quartet is hard bop's answer to
the World Saxopone Quartet. Actually, within the straight-ahead tradition, this part-time unit (which has recorded several sets for Red and Antilles) is fairly adventurous.
