My latest exploration of vintage Los Angeles clubs examines the varied history of entertainment offered at 1841 N. Cahuenga in Hollywood. When it became The Clef in late 1952 it rivaled clubs like Tiffany, The Haig, and Jazz City for its jazz bookings. 

One of the pioneers of jazz organ, Jackie Davis, played The Clef in August 1953 after a successful run in San Francisco at Fack’s. I am posting this to the discography forum as my post includes details of the Jackie Davis Trio, recorded by Albert Marx at Radio Recorders on September 9, 1953, after his run at the club.

Yes, Albert Marx established Trend Records in 1954 with the initial 10" LP release of Jerry Fielding and His Great New Orchestra, TL-1000. When Marx sold all of his masters to David Kapp in 1956 many of the Trend albums were reissued on Kapp’s "The Kapp Jazz Gallery" series where the Davis album included previously unreleased tracks and was titled as The Jackie Davis Trio Organistics

Correction. I should have stated that Marx established Trend in 1953. His first recording session was with the Van Alexander orchestra on July 1, 1953 at Radio Recorders.
