Clarence Jackson & The 4 Notes Of Rhythm - Poor Butterfly / Flamingo - Crystal Tone Label # 1138 - Release Date 1948
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Clarence Jackson (1919-1986) was a musical treasure to aficionados within the northeastern region of America (New England, including Ohio and parts of the South up through Toronto, Canada). Jackson defined excitement combined with smooth, innovative and well thought-out arrangements to songs in the jazz and pop medium. Clarence Jackson and His Four Notes of Rhythm never made it as big headliners, but they were great entertainers. Clarence did a little of everything well; he swung, he riffed, he mugged the words and was always very rhythmic. He could sing a very sensitive song, too, using a sort of falsetto. While he had a high range, he could also get rough and swing the blues. There are precious few recordings of Clarence Jackson; the most important being a 1948 recording of “POOR BUTTERFLY” on Crystal Tone Records as Clarence Jackson & His Four Notes of Rhythm, with an arrangement that featured his signature tenor.
Disc grades Very Good (has some original gloss but has a number of scuffs and light scratches. I cleaned the record using The Spin-Clean Record Washing System, but was not able to play-test it since I have no 78rpm record player.
