The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dayton Selby, a DYNAMITE organist, only recorded once, to my knowledge. He was o Eddie Chamblee's fabulous Prestige album "The rocking tenor sax of Eddie Chamblee". If you got my BFT, you'll have heard Dayton waking y'all up! Dayton must be getting on - he has a pre-Jimmy Smith style so must have been working on the organ since the early fifties. However, I see from the sleeve notes of Gloria Coleman's new CD, "Sweet Missy" http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=41697&hl= that she is a friend of Dayton. YAAAAYYYY!!!! So, all you Newark residents, get on out there and find him!!!! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Maybe I'll stop by and say hello, Newark is about 10 miles from here. Don't know what else I could say... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I've written to Pete Fallico, saying Dayton needs rediscovering! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter A Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Dayton Selby, a DYNAMITE organist, only recorded once, to my knowledge. He seems to have made a couple of records in the 50's-60's: - Design Records (DLP-37): Dayton Selby Trio featuring Willene Barton, 1959 (LP) - ABP Paramount (10030): Dayton Selby Trio - Do A Little / La (Dee Dah), 1959 (45). He is on a single of Ronnie Underwood on Prestige (don't know who that is): - PR 45-352 Ronnie Underwood - Night Jet c/w Long Walk Home Dayton Selby (org) Walter Longley, Ronnie Underwood (g) Russell Annaken (b) Alvin Rogers (d) 3 female singers (vo) NYC, March 10, 1965 - Long Walk Home - Night Jet He might even have recorded a couple of LP's in the 70's under the name of the Dayton Selby Sound. Couldn't find any info on these. Regards, Peter Edited March 28, 2008 by Peter A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Very interesting - thanks for that. Pete Fallico has already responded to my e-mail. Thanks for the nice email. Yes, I agree...Dayton is a jewel! I have had that album with Eddie Chamblee for decades. Dayton does not play much any more. He told me a few years ago that he sold his Hammond. Gloria keeps in closer contact with him than I do. I may record Sarah McLawler next... I'm waiting for her to assemble her all-girl band for me...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 - Design Records (DLP-37): Dayton Selby Trio featuring Willene Barton, 1959 (LP) Damn! I just remembered my mate has (or had) a copy of that Willene Barton LP! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
