AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release of by or featuring bandleader, arranger and alto saxophonist Earl Bostic, complete with original artwork and liner notes.

“Dance Time”; “Let’s Dance”; “Alto Magic In Hi-Fi” and “Dance Music From The Bostic Workshop”

Earl Bostic is arguably now best remembered as one of the pioneers of the post war Rhythm & Blues movement of which he was a major player. His name would not necessarily jump out if you were asked to name ten of the best alto sax players ever. And yet he was up there amongst the best when he began his career back in the 1930’s firmly in the jazz tradition. He played with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Charlie Christian, Arnett Cobb, Don Byas, Thelonious Monk and Cab Calloway. He arranged for the likes of Paul Whiteman, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Artie Shaw, Louis Prima and Jack Teagarden. By the late 1940’s Bostic turned towards the upcoming new R&B movement and after signing to the King label, produced a series of hit singles and albums, four of which you will hear on our latest 2CD set. Earl Bostic became a kind of early John Mayall of the 1940’s -50’s jazz world where his bands became a training ground for the likes of John Coltrane (who cited Bostic as major influence on his playing), as did Blue Mitchell, Stanley Turrentine, Teddy Edwards, Jaki Byard, Tony Scott and Benny Golson.
