Certain collections of music are so rich and deep that it feels like a listener
could almost swim in them. This six-disc, 108-track set feels bottomless. It
also represents one of the greatest provenance accounts in all of jazz. Someone
ought to write a short story about it.
Bill Savory was a reticent New York recording engineer in the 1930s and 1940s
who had a cool nocturnal habit: While transcribing radio broadcasts for foreign
distribution, he liked to multitask, flipping on his recorders and capturing
what was going out over the airwaves from live jazz-club performances that were
only meant to be heard once. That is, if there had been no Bill Savory.
We could order a lot of beers and have a lot of passionate talks about
what’s best and most valuable here. Here’s a whistle-wetter: a
version of Coleman Hawkins’ “Body and Soul” cut seven months
after its jazz epoch-shaping studio counterpart, and frankly better. At the
earlier date, Hawkins had hit upon something, but now what was hit upon has been
refined, sacrificing none of its immediacy as it extends its domain, roots
plunging deeper into soil.
Given where jazz was played and where Savory was at, most of the recordings come
from NYC, but there are others from the nightclub temples of Boston and Chicago.
Fats Waller blazes at the charmingly billed The Yacht Club, as if a regatta were
simultaneously unwinding outside. He had no idea this was being recorded,
he’s playing only for the patrons of the evening, but his set selections
underscore an epiphany central to the artistry of these men and women: The
workaday gig is also the all-timer gig, the next entry in a progression of them.
Nothing is throwaway, all can last. That is some doozy art.
Speaking of which: A WNEW jam session features Basie tenor sax stud Herschel
Evans a mere month before his death, and when you hear the power coming through
his horn, you wonder how the Reaper got up the balls to approach him.
Rival/partner Lester Young, meanwhile, blows a blues so pure on “Lady Be
Good” with the Basie band that you just about giggle that these two cats
were somehow in the same unit. These players always belong to their moment
entirely even as they transcend it, with Savory acting as recording scribe for a
kind of jazz Bible.
Swing is the ostensible core of the collection, but what we’re hearing is
jazz morphing, nightly. Drummer Chick Webb’s case as a sticksman and
prime mover par excellence is furthered, Ella Fitzgerald is moving swing singing
into an era of vocal Modernism, and if you don’t think the John Kirby
sextet could hold its own in a battle of the bands versus Coltrane’s
quartet or either Miles quintet, well, let’s line up these recordings
with theirs and have everyone throw down. Thank you, Mr. Savory, for your hobby.
You have provided a plunge into a lost sea of history. And you have done every
corner of our human condition a massive solid.~Colin Fleming
