paul secor Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 (edited) I was listening to a CD called Itty Bitty Treasure Chest Vol. 1 (Regency RR-CD-116) a bootleg compilation of vocal group recordings released by the Deroit-based Fortune label. One of the tracks, "September in the Rain", by the Royal Jokers, includes a great bop tenor sax solo (including a reed squeak - either Fortune thought it was a great solo (which it is) or they didn't want to spend the money doing another take. ) Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone here has heard this and might have an idea of the tenorist's identity. The only guess I would have would be Billy Mitchell, but I haven't heard enough of his playing to make any sort of educated guess. The tune also has a fine jazz drummer on it. Just a quick addendum. I was listening to this at home - previous listens were in my car - and what I took for a reed squeak actually seems to be a high pitched sound coming from the studio.
