Show Time

Show Time is a live album by saxophonist Arnett Cobb with guests appearances by Dizzy Gillespie and Jewel Brown which was recorded in Houston in 1987 and released on the Fantasy label the following year. Reception The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb's next-to-last recording was cut at a concert in Houston that was held to celebrate his 69th birthday. Cobb is in typically fine form. ... This CD is a mixed bag, not essential but generally quite interesting".
