| Saxophonist was a Chicago star by the end of the 1940s (playing with Muddy Waters, pianist Roosevelt Sykes, and Gene Wright's big band among others), before becoming joining the soul/jazz pantheon with a prolific recording career. "Gritty, sweat-streaked, bluesy tenor saxophone is an essential ingredient in what's come to be known as soul jazz" says the Chicago Reader's John Corbett, "...and tenor man James "Red" Holloway was seducing crowds with that sound well before "soul" was a term people applied to popular music." He also played with George Benson in organist Jack McDuff's band on the 1963 record Live!. His own discography includes The Burner (1963, with organist Big John Patton, Paul Serrano, and Hobart Dotson), Nica's Dream (1984, Steeplechase, with Horace Parlan), Live at the 1995 Floating Jazz Festival (Chiaroscuro with trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison).
