About David "Fathead" Newman
A sax player whose full-throated bluesy expression reflects a strong R&B background, David "Fathead" Newman has lent his powerful yet supple sound to an incredible variety of musical situations since his first appearance in the mid-1950s. He has worked as a sideman on countless soul, blues, and jazz dates over the years, including a long and fruitful association with Ray Charles during Ray's richest soul-jazz years. Newman's own recordings as a leader also reflect the range of his talent.
