Overview
Immerse yourself in the rhythmic brilliance of the "King of the Savoy" with Coral’s release of Spinning The Webb. This essential collection captures Chick Webb and his Orchestra during their most influential years (1934-1939). Renowned for his powerful drumming and disciplined swing, Chick Webb led one of the most formidable big bands in jazz history. This album is particularly significant as it features the early recordings of the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, whose crystalline voice catapulted the band to mainstream success with hits like "A-Tisket A-Tasket." Whether you are a jazz aficionado or a new listener, this vinyl offers a pure, mono trip back to the golden age of the Savoy Ballroom.
Interesting Facts
- The Savoy Connection: Chick Webb’s band was the house orchestra for Harlem’s famous Savoy Ballroom, where they famously defeated almost every rival band in "Battles of the Bands," including the Benny Goodman and Count Basie orchestras.
- Discovering Ella: Ella Fitzgerald was just a teenager when she won an amateur night at the Apollo Theater; Chick Webb took her under his wing, and she eventually led the band after his untimely death in 1939.
- Physical Triumph: Despite suffering from spinal tuberculosis which left him with a hunchback and constant pain, Webb was considered one of the most physically powerful and innovative drummers of his era.
- Series Note: This LP is part of the "Jazz Heritage" series, curated to preserve the most important recordings in the history of the genre.
