[78-L] Six Brown Brothers as Columbia Saxophone Sextette

[David Lennick]

Way back, or at least through the mid to late 60s..Roll Back The Years. Same 
title as his book.

I checked the Saxo Sextette in the Columbia Master Books and no personnel was 
listed. The Six Brown Brothers, per Rust, changed personnel fairly rapidly to 
the point where there was only one Brother, so either of the Columbia groups 
could have been original Brown Brothers. And I believe the "Fred Allen" disc 
(Sunshine Of Your Smile) is either Fred or Tom Brown. (It definitely isn't Fred 
Allen, who never played sax and who wasn't using that name yet.)
