Changing Face Of Harlem – The Savoy Sessions

LP (Item 528297) Savoy, Early 40s — Condition: Near Mint-
2LP Gatefold
Includes selections by Buck Ram All Stars, Pete Brown Quintette, Hot Lips Page, Ben Webster, Herbie Fields, Tiny Grimes, Charlie Parker, Miss Rhapsody, and Clyde Hart.  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Mid 70s issue. Cover has a cutout hole and hype sticker.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Well, it's not the whole Charlie Parker Story – but the album does feature some great material from a very famous session, recorded on 11/26/1945, originally issued on 78s, along with extra tracks, compiled here in one of Savoy's posthumous Bird LPs from the early 60s.

Frank Wess, Kenny Burrell, & Others

Opus In Swing
Savoy, 1956. Very Good
One of the greatest of the 50s Savoy "Opus" albums – and a loosely-done blowing session that's got a really unique feel! Instead of piano, the session features two guitarists – Kenny Burrell in lead and handling solos, and Freddie Greene comping in the background in a nicely ... LP, Vinyl record album
Savoy, 1956. Very Good
Frank's tenor and flute are out front on this swingin' session cut with Frank Foster, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Clarke, and Bennie Powell.

Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s. Very Good+
A nice collection of Gene Ammons' work that doesn't always get as well remembered as his sides for Prestige or Chess – a 1947 bop session for Savoy with Howard McGhee on trumpet, Leo Parker on baritone, Junior Mance on piano, Gene Wright on bass, and Chuck Williams on drums; and early 50s ... LP, Vinyl record album
Savoy, 1957. Near Mint-
One of a few albums cut in America by French 50s modernist Andre Hodeir – a set of compositions arranged and conducted by Hodeir himself, featuring American players that include Idrees Sulieman and Donald Byrd on trumpets, Hal McKusick on alto and bass clarinet, Bobby Jaspar on tenor and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Savoy/Musidisc (France), 1958. Near Mint-
French issue of some of Coltrane's groundbreaking recordings for Savoy from the late 50s – recorded in the company of a super-hip sextet with Wilbur Harden on trumpet, and done in a way so that the tracks open up nice and long, in strong modal grooves that point the way towards 'Trane's later ...

Lee Allen, Big Jay McNeely, Hal Singer, Sam Taylor

Honkers & Screamers – The Roots Of Rock N Roll Vol 6
Savoy, Late 40s/1954/1961. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
The cover says "roots of rock n roll" – but the set features some killer tenor work from Savoy Records – late 40s sides by Paul Williams, Hal Singer, and Big Jay McNeely – a 1954 date by Lee Allen – and obscure 1961 recordings by the great Sam Taylor! LP, Vinyl record album

JJ Johnson

Mad Be Bop
Savoy, 1946/1947/1949/1954. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
A huge batch of work from the great JJ Johnson – material that includes 14 tracks recorded for Savoy as singles in the late 40s – plus the full Jay & Kai 10" album from 1954! The singles were all recorded in 1946, 1947, and 1949 – and they already mark Johnson as one of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Herbie Hancock

Fat Albert Rotunda
Warner, 1969. Sealed
A crucial record in the career of keyboard legend Herbie Hancock – the first session in which he really gets all-out funky, but in a way that's different than his spacier jams to come in the 70s! At some level, the album links the early soul jazz modes of Herbie's first few Blue Note ... LP, Vinyl record album
