Del Sasser is a jazz composition written by bassist Sam Jones in 1960. It has become a jazz standard associated with Jones’s work as a leader and sideman. A notable recording appears on the 1988 album Visitation, released by SteepleChase, and a remastered version runs about 8 minutes and 26 seconds. The tune sits in the post-bop jazz tradition and is often performed in small groups, with a chord progression that includes movements like Fm7 to B7 as shown in real book transcriptions. Del Sasser showcases Jones's melodic writing and improvisational space and remains a popular piece in modern jazz repertoires.
