Review by Scott Yanow
One of the many excellent double LPs put out by Arista from the Savoy catalog in the mid-'70s, this two-fer contains valuable recordings that originated from Los Angeles during the bop years. Trumpeter Al Killian leads a jam session that also stars altoist Sonny Criss and Wardell Gray on tenor, the jivey guitarist and vocalist Slim Gaillard performs three numbers ("Laguna" is a near-classic) and Roy Porter's big band (with a young trumpeter Art Farmer and Eric Dolphy heard on alto) plays eight songs from 1949, the legendary orchestra's only recordings. In addition there are four vocals by Helen Humes from a live session also featuring the tenor of Dexter Gordon and dates led by tenor Harold Land, altoist Art Pepper and pianist Hampton Hawes. Although containing plenty of classic music, the contents of this two-fer have mostly not been reissued on CD yet.

Revisión por Scott Yanow
Uno de los muchos excelentes LP dobles publicados por Arista en el catálogo de Savoy a mediados de los 70, este dos fer contiene valiosas grabaciones que se originaron en Los Ángeles durante los años anteriores. El trompetista Al Killian lidera una jam session en la que también actúan el altoista Sonny Criss y Wardell Gray en el tenor, el guitarrista y vocalista delgado Gaillard interpreta tres números ("Laguna" es casi un clásico) y la gran banda de Roy Porter (con un joven trompetista Art Farmer y Eric Dolphy escucharon en alto) tocar ocho canciones de 1949, las únicas grabaciones de la legendaria orquesta. Además, hay cuatro voces de Helen Humes de una sesión en vivo que también presenta al tenor de Dexter Gordon y fechas dirigidas por el tenor Harold Land, el contralista Art Pepper y el pianista Hampton Hawes. Aunque contiene mucha música clásica, el contenido de esta doble ferencia todavía no se ha vuelto a publicar en CD.
