North, South, East....Wess is an album by saxophonist Frank Wess recorded in 1956 and released on the Savoy label.[1]
Allmusic reviewer by Jim Todd stated, "This easygoing swing date is essentially a small group drawn from the Count Basie band of the day. The two tenors, Wess and Frank Foster, and two trombones, Bennie Powell and Henry Coker, all from the Count's band, keep the sound comfortably cruising near the middle register ... The best moments come when Wess switches to flute, the instrument on which he does have a distinctive and appealing musical personality".
