bertrand Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Somehow, I did not know about this before: Harold Land Septet Froegel Brigham (tp) Russell B. Campbell (tb) William S. Doty (as) Harold Land (ts) Fred Jackson (p) Dave Dyson (b) Leon Petties (d) Los Angeles, CA, April 25, 1949 SLA524 Outlandish Savoy SJL 2215 SLA525 Swingin' On Savoy - SLA526 San Diego Bounce Regent 1020; Savoy SJL 2215 SLA527 I'll Remember April - * Various Artists - Black California (Savoy SJL 2215) * Harold Land - Dan Diego Bounce c/w I'll Remember April (Regent 1020) The compilation Savoy On Central Avenue does not seem to have 'I'll Remember April', which is annoying. Is there any compilation that has all four tracks? Various other compilations on iTunes allow you to get 'San Diego Bounce' and 'April', but not the other two tracks. There is also a 'Swingin' on Savoy' recorded by Dexter Gordon. Bertrand. Edited May 28, 2008 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Bertrand: The online version of Tom Lord's discography does include "I'll Remember April" as part of Savoy SJL2215: Harold Land All Stars : Froebel Brigham (tp) Russell B. Campbell (tb) William Doty (as) Harold Land (ts) Fred Jackson (p) David Dyson (b) Leon Petties (d) Los Angeles, April 25, 1949 SLA524 Outlandish Savoy SJL2215 SLA525 Swingin' on Savoy - SLA526 San Diego bounce - , Regent 1020 SLA527 I'll remember April - , Regent 1020 But take a look at this ebay auction. Unless the information from seller it's not correct, it looks like it's "Outlandish" the track edited out from this Savoy two-lp compilation: ebay auction Regards, Agustín Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKE BBB Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have a copy of SJL 2215 in front of me and all 4 titles included. That's much more convincing, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) I didn't ask my question correctly. I'm trying to find a CD compilation with all four tracks. I assume SJL 2215 is the two-LP set entitled Black California. Was this ever on CD with ALL the same tracks? I suspect not. From what I can tell on the web, there is no CD collection with all these tracks currently available. Savoy On Central Avenue only has the three Land originals. 'April' is on something called Savoy First Steps. I wonder if the track 'Swingin' On Savoy' performed by Dexter Gordon is the Harold Land composition. Bertrand.

jazzbo Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 "Black California" was NOT on cd with all tracks. "Black California Vol.2" was on a Savoy/Denon cd with some tracks removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) I knew something was weird. 1) I know they are unreliable, but jazzdisco.org does not have Dexter ever recording a track called 'Swingin' On Savoy'. 2) The iTunes CD called Savoy On Central Avenue - The Master Recordings Volume One has a track called 'Swingin' On Savoy' by the Dexter Gordon quintet. 3) There is a 2-CD set on CD universe also called Savoy On Central Avenue which has Harold Land playing 'Swingin' On Savoy'. I listened to the sound bites for both - I believe it's the same performance. Harold Land at 21 does not have that unique sound I know from the late 60s session with Hutcherson, but there is certainly no obvious reason to think the track is Dexter. Also, it seems it is more a septet than a quintet. My conclusion: the track on iTunes called 'Swingin' On Savoy' is the Harold Land septet, not the Dexter Gordon quintet. Anyone else agree with me?

bertrand Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Augustin, What is Crazeology? Can I listen to this somewhere? A quick glance shows a private recording of Dewey Redman from 1979. The first track is probably 'Qow', not 'Wow'. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcello Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Never heard of him Chewy. I found this... Froebel Astor Brigham Jazz--Born:1917 native of Magnolia, Arkansas--The leader of The Preservation Band, Brigham performed almost until the time of his death on May 31, 1996. In 1994 and 1995, The Preservation Band was honored by winning Best Dixieland category at The San Diego Music Awards. Upon his death age 79, his family established the Fro Brigham Preservation Jazz Scholorship to help high school students attend college and study jazz.

JohnS Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 One to dig out and play. An album in the collection overlooked for far too long. Reminders of these forgotten dates is one of the great things about this place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
