Cut It Out!?!

When Delmark signed Frank Catalano to record this 1997 session he was only 19 years old! In Louie Bellson's descriptive notes he said: "I can honestly say that I feel he is one of the greatest saxophonists on the planet!... Catalano will follow in the footsteps of the masters like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane and push the boundaries of jazz". with Ira Sullivan, flute, trumpet (two songs); Willie Pickens, piano; Brian Sandstorm, bass, Robert Shy or Rusty Jones, drums. (Previously deleted:7/1/05. Original release date:2/10/98)"Just listen to the blues-drenched slow drag of 'Willow Weep for Me', a marvel of emotional swagger and lucid improvisation. Cut It Out!?! is likely to be one of the better mainstream releases of the year". - Cadence.
