Next on the list is "House of David", a fun and funky album that will get your feet tapping in no time. With catchy melodies and infectious rhythms, Newman once again proves why he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz.

Moving on to "Fathead Comes On", Newman brings his A-game once again with a collection of smooth and soulful tunes that will transport you to another time and place. His mastery of the saxophone is on full display here, with tracks like "Time After Time" and "Tin Tin Deo" showcasing his incredible skill and talent.

Last but certainly not least, we have "The Sound of the Wide Open Spaces!!!!", a truly epic album that pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be. With its expansive soundscapes and intricate compositions, Newman takes listeners on a journey through the wide open spaces of his mind, leaving you in awe of his creativity and vision.
