 called the first R&B sax solo. He played this solo in 1942 with the Lionel Hampton

 orchestra at the age of 19. The tune was FLYIN' HOME


Wikipedia lists Jacquet's first album: COLLATES from 1951. This compilation album

 contains material from 1946 and 1947, a few years after THE SOLO

in sextet, octet, nonet and 16 piece orchestra configurations.
