Jazzosaurus Rex is an album by the American musician David Murray.[1][2] It was released on the Red Baron label in 1993.[3] It features performances by Murray, John Hicks, Ray Drummond, and Andrew Cyrille. Murray was not enthusiastic about many of the songs chosen by producer Bob Thiele.[4][5] Poet George Hines contributed to the Miles Davis tribute, "Now He's Miles Away".[6]

AllMusic[7]
The Indianapolis Star[8]

The Indianapolis Star wrote that "Ballad for David" "shows Murray evoking the titan Ben Webster in his breathy, urgent tone."[8] The Record noted that "Murray has never been a particularly melodic improvisor and his harsh tone grows wearisome after several cuts."[9]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The poet G'ar's narration on a blues 'Now He's Miles Away' (a tribute to Miles Davis) is a bit trivial but only a minor flaw for this worthwhile David Murray set."[7]
