Jazz on Savoy 1955-1956 (3 CDs)

The Savoy label has a special place in the development of Jazz. In its first year of business, it was responsible for producing discs by such be-bop giants as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, while later years found it taking a chance on such avant-garde luminaries as Sun Ra and Archie Shepp. Dip into the expansive and inspirational Savoy catalogue and discover some Jazz gems as we take a look at an incredibly industrious and creative period in the label’s history.
