Single Action (album)

Single Action is an album by saxophonist Willis Jackson with guitarist Pat Martino, recorded in 1978 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow notes that "Single Action does give one a good example of Jackson playing in a tenor style that (other than Houston Person and now Joshua Redman) is quickly disappearing."
