The Natural Seven


The Natural Seven is an album by saxophonist, composer and arranger Al Cohn recorded in 1955 for the RCA Victor label.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote, "Although originally associated with Woody Herman and cool jazz, Cohn always felt equally comfortable playing with swing-styled players. His "Natural Seven" looks toward the Kansas City Seven and includes two members of Count Basie's band".
