The Red Tornado is an album by trumpeter Red Rodney which was recorded at New York City's Bell Sound Studios in 1975 and released on the Muse label.[1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Red Rodney's string of Muse recordings in the 1970s found the trumpeter getting stronger album by album. For this date, he plays in the hard bop genre ... most of the tunes are based either on blues or on earlier songs (including "originals" close to "So What" and "Cherokee"). Rodney sounds strong".
