The Prestige Collection: Eight Classic Albums On 4CDs

Willis "Gator" Jackson, born April 25 1932, was an American jazz tenor saxophonist most active in the 1950s and 1960s. In the latter decade, Jackson made a number of albums on which he was leader for the Prestige label. Born in Miami, Florida, and educated at the University of Miami, Jackson joined Cootie Williams's band in 1948 as a teenager, and was part of it off-and-on until 1955. Under his own name (Willis Jackson and His Orchestra) he recorded various rhythm-and-blues instrumentals for Atlantic Records. His most famous cut for Atlantic is "Gator's Groove" (1952), with "Estrellita" as the B-side.
