Buddy Johnson, Buddy Johnson At The Savoy Ballroom 1945-46 (1975)

Tuesday's lunch record is live recordings by Buddy Johnson and his orchestra. These radio air checks are from 19445-1946. This 1975 reissue is on the Jazz Archives record label. The quality of the recordings is a touch scratchy but the jumpin' hot live feel of his live show is worthy. His sister Ella Johnson and Arthur Prysock are featured vocalists. There are 16 tracks; "Since I fell For You", "St. Louis Blues", "Night Shift", "Walk Em", "One O'clock Boogie" along with others. The YouTube sample song is " One O'clock Boogie" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi4hSJeZxGA&list=PLObjn9y55zodgAQGscYWyjrHJ6FJtMXmR&index=7 . . bucko
