Johnny Guarnieri with Lester Young

[EKE BBB]

On April 18, 1944, Johnny Guarnieri led his first recording session for Savoy, which produced four tunes: These Foolish Things, Exercise In Swing, Salute To Fats and Basie English. Line-up was Billy Butterfield (tp) Hank d'Amico (cl) Lester Young (ts) Johnny Guarnieri (p) Dexter Hall (g) Billy Taylor (b) Cozy Cole (d)

Label on original 78 rpm discs (Savoy 509 and Savoy 511) listed the group as Johnny Guarnieri's All Star Orchestra, though Bruyninckx lists Johnny Guarnieri Swing Men.

I'd like to know how this group was listed on LP issues (Bruyninckx says Lester Young Orchestra):

Savoy MG 12068

Savoy MG 12071

Savoy SJL 2202

or any other LP issue.

Thanks in advance!

The last LP you show (the Savoy twofer) only says in its liner notes that this session was made under the ledership of Johnny Guarnieri but gives no exact "band name".

Michel Ruppli's Savoy discography lists it under "Johnny Guarnieri's All Star Orchestra".

These tracks are on the Johnny Guarnieri 1944-1946 Chonogical Classics under the name "Johnny Guarnieri's All Star Orchestra".
