████ Craft Recordings' The Birth of Bop: The Savoy 10" LP Collection ████
████ offers a version of Savoy's initial involvement with bebop and ████
████ its artists. These 30 tracks cover selections from 1944 to 1949 ████
████ on five 10" LPs or a pair of CDs. It opens with "Romance Without ████
████ Finance." Credited in the booklet to Charlie Parker, who plays on ████
████ it, the session was rightfully credited to guitarist/vocalist ████
████ Tiny Grimes. The reason for excluding a proper Parker side was to ████
████ avoid redundancy. In 2020, The Savoy Ten-Inch LP Collection ████
████ assembled the alto saxophonist's leader sides. The trajectory of ████
████ the music included here follows a large number of artists across ████
████ their early releases for the label. They include Dexter Gordon, ████
████ Fats Navarro, Allen Eager, Bunk Johnson, J.J. Johnson, Milt ████
████ Jackson, Leo Parker, Kai Winding, and Stan Getz, who are all ████
████ represented by multiple entries. ████
████ ████
████ Highlights include Gordon's "Dexter's Minor Mad" from his first ████
████ leader session in 1945 when he was just 22, Fats Navarro's read ████
████ of Eddie Lockjaw Davis's "Hollerin' and Screamin" (1946) just ████
████ smokes. Eager's "Church Mouse" (1947) offers a bluesy take on ████
████ hard swing, while Don Byas' "Byas a Drink" (1945) reveals he'd ████
████ made the transition and could balance both sides of the fence ████
████ effortlessly. From December 1944, tenorist Budd Johnson's "Little ████
████ Benny (King Kong)" was an early bop session by a veteran who'd ████
████ worked with Louis Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins; his killer ████
████ septet for this side includes bassist Oscar Pettiford, drummer ████
████ Denzil Best, trumpeter Benny Harris, and fellow saxophonist ████
████ Herbie Fields. J.J. Johnson's "Mad Be Bop" from 1946 features ████
████ pianist Bud Powell, drummer Max Roach, and alto saxophonist Cecil ████
████ Payne. Legendary vibraphonist Milt Jackson is represented ████
████ beautifully by the inclusion of "Hearing Bells," "Junior," and ████
████ "Bubu" from 1949. His band on these sides includes pianist Walter ████
████ Bishop, Jr., Roy Haynes, Julius Watkins, and Billy Mitchell. Stan ████
████ Getz's "Don't Worry About Me" (1946) offers a soulful, swinging ████
████ dimension amid the harmonic exploration. ████
████ ████
████ The set's final four tracks are welcome outliers. Davis leads the ████
████ same band Navarro did on "Stealin' Trash." Drummer Roy Porter ████
████ delivers the classic obscurity "Pete's Beat," from Los Angeles' ████
████ Central Avenue scene in 1948. Baritone saxophonist Serge ████
████ Chaloff's amazing "Pumpernickel" is delivered by a burning sextet ████
████ including trumpeter Red Rodney, criminally underrated pianist ████
████ George Wallington, and bassist Curly Russell. Finally, tenor ████
████ saxophonist Morris Lane delivers the scorcher "Blowin; For ████
████ Kicks," an intense 12-bar workout from 1947 that features ████
████ inventive guitarist George Baker, who almost steals the show. ████
████ ████
████ Packaged in a handsome slipcase, the Nick Phillips-produced Birth ████
████ of Bop includes a fully illustrated 28-page booklet containing ████
████ rare photos, a liner essay, and complete track annotation by ████
████ Grammy-winning writer Neil Tesser. Interestingly, as one reads ████
████ through the track info, typos readily appear. This is not an ████
████ oversight but a conscious decision by the compilers to leave ████
████ label representations and info exactly as they found them. ████
