Description
The Savoy Havana Band plays two fast, hot tunes, "Miss Annabelle Lee" and "Blue River," on HMV B5359. The "Lee" side has a clever arrangement and an outstanding, virtuosic baritone sax solo that I believe to be by Billy Barton. The discographies don't list anyone playing that instrument, but it's there. On YouTube (not this copy).
Max Goldberg (tp); Tony Thorpe (tb); Billy Barton (cl,as); Watson Marsh (cl,ts); Cyril Ramon Newton (vln,vcl); Harry Howard (p); Dave Thomas (bj); Harry Evans (tu); Laurie Huntington (d). Recorded in London on September 15, 1927.
This record is in V+ condition. It is a slightly noisy pressing. The "Blue River" side has a small rim chip not to the grooves (visible in the last picture at about 5:30).
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing. I know how to pack records.
