Earl was extraordinary. He developed a way of playing the alto-sax that still baffles sax-players today. His ability to play EXTRA NOTES - and his use of a tenor-sax reed - enabled him to make his alto-sax sound BIGGER than the larger instrument. Essentially a Rhythm And Blues man, he was also a fine Jazz player, who worked with and influenced most of the greats. And in the Fifties, he even turned his hand to everything from MOR material, with strings, to full-blown Rock 'N' Roll. But it was with R&B; pieces like "Flamingo" that Earl shone. This record was recorded on the 10th of January, 1951 - just a few months after recording tape became available to the commercial record industry. And this is the ORIGINAL 45. It is HUGELY RARE, being issued not long after WW2, when most people could not yet afford to buy the equipment to PLAY VINYL - which was ALSO something that had only been available for a short time. Footnote: I also have this as a mint 78. Given the different dynamic, I will upload it when I reach my SHELLAC! [UPDATE! I now HAVE uploaded the 78 - its dynamic is greater, despite the hiss - check it out!] Second footnote: It is possible the original master tape of this track has been LOST. A while back, a collectors' album was released of Earl's Greatest Hits. It was called "Earl Bostic Blows A Fuse" and had the recording details of the tracks on the sleeve's reverse; personnel, recording dates - even the original recording numbers. But whilst, to the best of my knowledge, the details were correct for the other tracks - for Flamingo, while the details were fine, the recording was NOT. The album sleeve gave the correct details for THIS ORIGINAL recording - but the track on the album was a COVER version Earl had recorded a decade later, for an album. A bitter disappointment for those who had hoped to obtain a clean recording of this classic, I'm sure. For myself, the other, CORRECT, recordings on the album were more than adequate compensation. But then, that was easy for ME to say - I had this rare ORIGINAL 45! For years, as a boy, this was my all-time favourite record - and now YOU can enjoy it, too.

NIGHT & DAY A '78' from the 1950s. Bostic was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He turned professional at age 18 when he joined Terrence Holder's band. He made his first recording with Lionel Hampton in 1942 where he played along with Red Allen, J.C. Higginbotham, Sid Catlett, Teddy Wilson and Hampton. Before that he performed with Fate Marable on New Orleans riverboats. Words & Music by Cole Porter Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom When the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock As it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops When the summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you Night and day, you are the one Only you beneath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me, or far Its no matter darling where you are I think of you Day and night, night and day, why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffics boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you Day and night, night and day Under the hide of me Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me And this torment wont be through Until you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night, night and day The randomly selected pictures are from a visit to the Middleton Railway, Leeds.

Earl Bostic and his orchestra. Blue Mitchell (tp) Earl Bostic (as) Ray Felder (ts) Gene Redd (vib) Joe Knight (p) Mickey Baker (g) Ike Isaacs (b) George Brown (d). Recorded in New York, December 17, 1952. Initially released on King 4623 on both 45 and 78 RPM. The recording here is dubbed from the Canadian pressing but it is still take 1 just like all the others. A favorite Bostic of the classic Ray Noble tune. Hope you enjoy it.

This driving opus was probably one of the very last recordings by the great Earl Bostic - recorded on 13/14 August 1963, just two years before his early death aged 52 on 28 October 1965. Richard 'Groove' Holmes on organ; Herbert Gordy on bass; the drums none other than Shelly Manne and the fluid guitarist is Joe Pass - the whole being arranged by Buddy Collette - best remembered as a great jazz flautist who sadly passed away just last September (19th 2010)...

Earl Bostic manhandling the Bugle Call Rag. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Bostic "The alto saxophonist Sweet Papa Lou Donaldson recalled seeing Parker get burned by Bostic during one such jam session. Art Blakey remarked that "Nobody knew more about the saxophone than Bostic, I mean technically, and that includes Bird. Working with Bostic was like attending a university of the saxophone.When Coltrane played with Bostic, I know he learned a lot."[1] Victor Schonfield pointed out that "...his greatest gift was the way he communicated through his horn a triumphant joy in playing and being, much like Louis Armstrong and only a few others have done."[4] He was able to control the horn from low A without using his knee[5] up into the altissimo range years before other saxophonists dared to stray. Bostic was able to play melodies in the altissimo range with perfect execution. He could play wonderfully in any key at any tempo over any changes. Benny Golson, who called Bostic "the best technician I ever heard in my life," mentioned that "He could start from the bottom of the horn and skip over notes, voicing it up the horn like a guitar would. He had circular breathing before I even knew what circular breathing was - we're talking about the early 50s. He had innumerable ways of playing one particular note. He could double tongue, triple tongue. It was incredible what he could do, and he helped me by showing me many technical things." Bostic used a Beechler mouthpiece with a tenor saxophone reed on his Martin Committee model alto sax."
