0167 Don Savage [Session With Savage] FLAC 4(12.06)

















Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
A little known alto player with a beautiful tone on his first and only recording as leader in 1957. Don played with the Frank Weir Orchestra, Tito Burns, Ted Heath and Ambrose and, like many other musicians at that time, was mainly buried away in the section of commercial dance bands to earn a living.
He leads a fine group here and it would be good to hear some more from this musician. Does anyone recall him and are there solos, say, with Ted Heath during the few months he spent in that band?

Bert Courtley - trumpet
Don Savage - alto
Art Ellefson - tenor
Bernie George - baritone
Bobby Heath - piano
Bill Stark - bass
Art Morgan - drums

    Under an alias, you mean, Baron? I just compared the baritone solo on the last track here with the same in Stringin' the Jug from Ronnie Scott Jazz Club Vol 2. Would not say they are by the same guy. More than four years apart though. Bernie George also played woodwinds I think.
