At last in one CD the complete and rare recordings made by the
outstanding saxophonist Frank Socolow as a leader.
Frank Socolow was an excellent tenor saxophonist who unfortunately never
rose beyond the rank of journeyman. His transitional style on the tenor was
heard with many dance bands, which formed the bulk of his employment in the
music business. Having worked the reed section for Boyd Raeburn, Buddy Rich,
Chubby Jackson and Artie Shaw, Frank was highly acclaimed by his music
colleagues yet, as often happens, his fame as a soloist escaped wider notice,
which could be direct result of him being such a good section man. The three
first tracks features legendary pianist Bud Powell.
