When four veterans like Coleman Hawkins, Buddy Tate, Eddie Davis, and Arnett Cobb get together, no longer young bucks that have to prove themselves, they still like to assert their musical masculinity. It is like four old friends in their shirtsleeves or T-shirts, having an old fashioned bull session over beer and pretzels or an equivalent. There is talk of old times, back-slapping, head-shaking, low humor and high hilarity. Troubles of the present are forgotten temporarily as old bonds are reweaved.

Funky Butt is Arnett Cobb’s final recording. Grammy Award winning Jazz Legend Arnett Cobb is an American music pioneer. His larger than life playing style separates him as a master saxophonist & icon. He was sometimes known as the “Wild Man of the Tenor Sax” because of his uninhibited stomping style.

Cobb, a Tenor Saxophone player from the 1940s who (like Illinois Jacquet) fused together some of the most exciting aspects of swing and early R&B, is in typically exuberant form on this quartet set with pianist Derek Smith, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Ronnie Bedford. Cobb is warm on the ballads, but the stomps are what make this record most memorable.
