Dave Pell • Dave Pell Plays Les Brown



David Pell (February 26, 1925 – May 7, 2017) was an American jazz saxophonist, bandleader and record producer. He was best known for leading a cool jazz octet in the 1950s.
Pell first played in his teens with the big bands of Tony Pastor, Bob Astor, and Bobby Sherwood, and then moved to California in the middle of the 1940s. There he played on Bob Crosby's radio show in 1946, and was a member of Les Brown's band from 1947 to 1955.
In 1953, he began working with his own ensembles, mostly as an octet: Pell on tenor sax, another saxophone (either a baritone or an alto), trumpet and trombone, guitar, and a piano-bass-drums rhythm section). Among the octet players were Pepper Adams, Benny Carter, Mel Lewis, Red Mitchell, Marty Paich, Art Pepper and, early his career, John Williams. These ensembles recorded in the 1950s for Atlantic, Kapp, Coral, Capitol, and RCA Victor; alongside this, he played as a sideman for Shorty Rogers, Pete Rugolo, Benny Goodman, and Gene Krupa. He also produced in the 1950s and 1960s for Tops, Uni and Liberty; among his credits in production were some singles by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.
In 1961, Pell switched to alto sax and clarinet for I Remember John Kirby, a tribute album to bassist/bandleader Kirby who led a successful small group in the 1930s and 1940s.
Pell was the recording session leader for the 1965 hit song "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)", performed by Los Angeles studio musicians known as The Wrecking Crew but attributed to The T-Bones.
In the 1970s, he assembled the group Prez Conference, a Lester Young tribute ensemble. In the 1980s, he returned to the octet format, and played on and off into the 1990s.

David Pell (26 de febrero de 1925 - 7 de mayo de 2017) fue un saxofonista de jazz, director de banda y productor discográfico estadounidense. Fue más conocido por liderar un octeto de cool jazz en la década de 1950.
Pell tocó por primera vez en su adolescencia con las grandes bandas de Tony Pastor, Bob Astor y Bobby Sherwood, y luego se trasladó a California a mediados de la década de 1940. Allí tocó en el programa de radio de Bob Crosby en 1946, y fue miembro de la banda de Les Brown de 1947 a 1955.
En 1953, comenzó a trabajar con sus propios conjuntos, principalmente como octeto: Pell en el saxo tenor, otro saxofón (ya sea un barítono o un alto), trompeta y trombón, guitarra y una sección rítmica de piano-bajo-batería). Entre los músicos del octeto se encontraban Pepper Adams, Benny Carter, Mel Lewis, Red Mitchell, Marty Paich, Art Pepper y, al principio de su carrera, John Williams. Estos conjuntos grabaron en la década de 1950 para Atlantic, Kapp, Coral, Capitol y RCA Victor; además, tocó como músico secundario para Shorty Rogers, Pete Rugolo, Benny Goodman y Gene Krupa. También produjo en los años 50 y 60 para Tops, Uni y Liberty; entre sus créditos en la producción se encuentran algunos singles de Gary Lewis & the Playboys.
En 1961, Pell se pasó al saxo alto y al clarinete para I Remember John Kirby, un álbum de homenaje al bajista y director de orquesta Kirby, que dirigió un pequeño grupo de éxito en las décadas de 1930 y 1940.

En la década de 1970, montó el grupo Prez Conference, un conjunto de homenaje a Lester Young. En la década de 1980, volvió al formato de octeto, y tocó de forma intermitente hasta la década de 1990.
