Frankly Speaking


Frankly Speaking is an album by saxophonists Frank Foster and Frank Wess which was recorded in 1984 and released on the Concord Jazz label the following year.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Using the same personnel as the previous year's Two for the Blues, this set gets the slight edge and is an excellent introduction to the playing of the two Count Basie saxophonists.... Recommended".
