duaneiac Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 I enjoy these "Birthday Sessions" CDs. Since they were issued on the low-budget LaserLight label, some jazz fans may have overlooked them, assuming them to be poor quality bootlegs or something. The sound is quite good since they were recorded by none other than Wally Heider. The music is quite good too. It's a setting far removed from Carnegie Hall, both geographically and musically -- a dance date at McElroy's Ballroom in Portland, OR probably 1953 or '54. The band sounds relaxed and the musical selections were all over the place as you can see from the above -- everything from Ellington classics like "Mood Indigo" and "C Jam Blues" to the "Bunny Hop Mambo". The band even plays "Happy Birthday" for a Mrs. Geraldine Richardson (I wonder if she lived long enough to get a copy of this CD and hear Duke Ellington send her birthday greetings once again). No Johnny Hodges here, but there were still stars like Clark Terry, Britt Woodman, Paul Gonsalves and Jimmy Hamilton and some less heralded musicians like Willie Cook and Rick Henderson get some spotlight time. I may be in the minority, but I've always liked the singing of Jimmy Grissom. I assume copies of these 5 CDs can still be found and they are well worth picking up.

One of the Savoy Classics, those together with Dexter´s , Fat´s Navarro´s , Don Byas´ and of course CP´s and all of them are among the best things of 40´s jazz. But the cover is really funny, those women then I think they all looked very similar, was it the hair do was it the make up......., Was this album cover from a later issue ? Anyway it´s exactly the album cover I have, on LP it was a double LP with some more J and K on the last side D if I remember well. Quote
