RECORDED ON SELMER SAXOPHONES

wk ok kw kw kw ww Kw we wm W& "JAZZ IN HOLLYWOOD" SERIES kK kK kK KKK KKK KK The saxophone, from Weidoeft to Trumbauer to Parker, has been subject to widely varying conceptions by performers good and bad. As a result, it is difficult for both teachers and players to say to a student with con- viction:

“This is the right (or wrong) way to play saxophone.”

In the Hollywood Saxophone Quartet, one hears, in my opinion, the four instruments represented — straight soprano, alto, tenor and baritone — played in a manner that establishes a standard. Not only have its members established a standard for individual performance, but they have succeeded in creating a true ensemble, an ensemble comparable to that of the fine string quartets. It didn’t happen over-night, nor by chance. The members of the quartet, all successful career musicians, formed the unit some years ago solely for the purpose of playing music for their own enjoyment and for those persons fortunate enough to hear them at private gatherings. As one who tried several times without success to interest recording com- panies in making their music available to discriminating record collectors, and especially to saxophone students, I am happy to congratulate Liberty Records, not only on making the step but on giving them an excellent showcase for their debut on a commercial label.

Both the compositions and arrangements (there should be a better term for creative writing of this kind) were chosen by the Quartet themselves to be the select material to properly demonstrate the scope of the quartet and its possibilities.

Now that the word “jazz’’ has become more meaningless than ever—it was always the wrong word for the wrong music—I hesitate to use it in relation to the music offered in this album. However, for those who un-

derstand that “jazz” is an influence rather than something separate and apart from other forms of music—an influence present to a degree in most forms of contemporary musical expression—the music presented here by the Hollywood Saxophone Quartet could very well open a new world of musical enjoyment.

Charles Emge Hollywood Editor

Down Beat

Charles Emge, or Charlie as he prefers to be known, is one of the pioneers in the publication of music magazines. In 1933, in collaboration with Ward M. Humphrey, he founded TEMPO, a publication which traced and reported the significant devel- opments in all fields of music. Prior to his entrance into the publishing field, Emge

~ worked with a "fair degree of regularity" as a musician from 1925 to 1931. His — vast knowledge of magazine publication and his close proximity to music and the men who create it, has earned him the post of Hollywood Editor of Downbeat, a position he has held for many years.

ABOUT SPECTRA-SONIC-SOUND HOLLYWOOD SAXOPHONE QUARTET was recorded in Hollywood during the _ summer of 1955. LIBERTY’S SPECTRA-SONIC-SOUND is a process which. in- corporates the use of an advance design of the famed Telefunken microphone in conjunction with <ltec Lansing power amplifiers and Ampex Recorders. This com- bination, plus special microphoning and studio acoustics, have been utilized to re- produce a brilliant sound. Correct balance between vocal and instrumental groups gives all LIBERTY recordings outstanding clarity and presence for maximum high fidelity listening enjoyment. For best results, use the RIAA equalization curve. Fre- quency response is from 40 cps. to 15,000 cps.
