Biviano is on the faculty at Berklee, but I don't know where he's from originally.

I always write pertinent information on the inner sleeve, or on a separate piece of paper that I insert into the jacket. I never write on the jacket!

"Best Of" compilations serve to introduce a novice to the artist's work, but ultimately it is the complete albums that provide the most satisfaction. In pop music, often all one would want is the hits, but jazz musicians don't usually have "hits" in the same sense, and what you are offered on a "Best of" set is somebody's rather subjective idea of what should be included. My favorite Dexter tracks might be completely different from those of the compiler.

Can't tell you anything about the label, but I can give you the details about the tracks. They were recorded July, 1947, in LA, and were originally issued on 78 on the Rex label. The personnel is Benny Bailey (tp), Teddy Edwards (ts), Duke Brooks (p), Addison Farmer (b), Roy Porter (d). Eight tracks were cut at the date (the Rem omits Rexology & R. B.'s Wig). All 8 reissued on Onyx 215 (LP) and Cool & Blue 115 (CD). Info from Raben's "Jazz Records".
