Liner Note Author: Billy Vera. Recording information: 05/01/1944-05/13/1958. Arranger: Howard Biggs. Savoy Jazz marks its 60th anniversary with this double-disc compilation of the early pioneers of bebop. This classic collection features some of the first recordings by such bebop masters as Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, and Stan Getz, among others, playing their classic repertoire of the '40s and '50s. These 32 compositions are also among those that helped to establish and solidify this newly introduced style of jazz in the hearts and souls of many swing and big-band followers around the globe, despite the early thumbs-down given by jazz purists of that decade. Titled Savoy 60th Anniversary: Timeless, the CDs feature state-of-the-art transfers from the actual acetate and tape masters created by these legendary artists at the original historic recording sessions. Listeners can now fully realize such great songs as "Parker's Mood," "Bohemia After Dark," and Little Jimmy Scott's first big record, "When Did You Leave Heaven?," in their finest quality available to date. A best buy for jazz history buffs. ~ Paula Edelstein Producer: Billy Vera; David Usher; Dick Bock; Fred Mendelsohn; Herb Abramson; Lee Magid; Leonard Feather; Ozzie Cadena; Ralph Bass; Teddy Reig; Buck Ram; Billy Vera (Compilation) Engineer: Paul Reid III   Technical Info Release Date : 10/01/2005 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : 17133 Label : Savoy Jazz (USA) Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00795041713322    Product Image
