    1957 and 1961, Both My Life and Career

    1957 and 1961, both my life and career began to take shape under the tutelage of legendary Billboard music editor Paul Ackerman and then-chart editor Tom Noonan, who first opened the magazine’s doors to a fifteen-year-old kid. At that time, Billboard was certainly the com­ munications center of the music industry, and what I learned and saw and heard there has indeed served me well over the years. Far and away the monumental event - and one of the most important moments in my life - was meeting Syd Nathan at a Billboard record-review session one drizzly Wednesday night in March or April 1958. A lthough i had a french test coming up, Paul urged me to stay by saying, “This guy is one of the great indie record men a real character. He can’t see very well and wears these thick, will be around. We’ll listen to those next week. Syd, let’s have Coca-Cola-bottle glasses, has a big ring on his finger and talks your records.” Syd got up and threw his records - fortunately, with a deep, raspy voice due to previous illnesses, but you just unbreakable 45s - on the floor and said, “Y)u don’t step on a man must meet him. He’ll be overwhelmed by your knowledge of when he’s down. Listen to Jerry Blaine’s records, and you can save C&W and R&B, and you will understand and love him and see mine for next week.” Needless to say, a ll the records were what he is all about.” Paul was right: That meeting changed my reviewed, including ones by Little Willie John on Syd’s label King life and destiny and is probably the reason I am able to write a and the Cadillacs on Josie.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography

    Savoy and Regent Label Discography

    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

    Projects & Proposals > Manhattan > Virtual Tour of Malcolm X Boulevard Archived Content This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. Welcome! Welcome to Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Harlem! This online virtual tour highlights the landmarks of Harlem and is available in printable text form. Introduction: This tour was developed by the Department of City Planning as part of its Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project, which extends from West 110th to West 147th Street, seeks to complement the ongoing capital improvements for Malcolm X Boulevard and take advantage of the growing tourist interest in Harlem. The project proposes a program of streetscape and pedestrian space improvements, including new pedestrian lighting, new sidewalk and median landscaping and the provision of pedestrian amenities, such as seating and pergolas. The Department has been working with Cityscape Institute, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Department of Design and Construction, and has received implementation funds totaling $1.2 million through the federal TEA21 Enhancement Funding program for the proposed pedestrian lighting improvements. As one element of the project, the Department developed this guided tour of the boulevard and neighboring blocks. The tour provides an overview of local area history, and highlights architecturally significant and landmarked buildings, noteworthy cultural and ecclesiastical institutions and other points of interest. A listing of former famous jazz clubs, such as the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom, is also provided. Envisioned as an information resource for residents and visitors, the tour is also available in printable text format for use as a hand-held guide for a self-guided walking tour along the boulevard.

Tel: (+44) 1773 550275 Email: [email protected] Postage and packing in purpose-built new boxes extra. Winners only notified. Condition, as ever, guaranteed. Minimum bid unless stated £8/$10, however I reserve the right to refuse bids I consider unrealistic. AUCTION CLOSES MIDNIGHT 18th FEBRUARY 2018 HOW TO BID Basically, there are two ways of bidding; first is the simple Straight Bid - you offer a fixed amount for an item and if yours is the high - est bid, you win. Secondly, and easier for those more familair with internet auctions, and for those collectors unsure of what to offer, is the Maximum Bid. You offer a bid to a maximum amount, which will be increased in 10% increments over the nearest bid up to your maximum amount. For example, you bid to a maximum of $100 on an item, but the next highest bid is $20 - you will pay $22, i.e. 10% over the the next highest bid. In the event of a tie the fixed bidder, or earliest-placed bid wins. IMPORTANT! Please make clear the system of bidding you are using and currency you are bidding in (Pounds Sterling, Euros or US Dollars). If you have a maximum budget to spend, please advise with your bids. Please also double check your item numbers when bidding - I do not use titles or issue numbers on my auction spreadsheet, so if you bid on the wrong number and win it, it’s yours! NOTE: Some of the categorisation of certain instrumental-based artists has been, by necessity, arbitrary so please check all sections.
