A chance for him to loosen up, stretch out, and experiment.
Savory had always been cagey and unresponsive when asked about his collection. But no one counted on a guy like Bill Savory being on the other end of a radio signal.

It was an era when TV didn’t exist yet, live music was everywhere, and radio stations would serve it to their audiences – in what everyone thought were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The recordings are from the personal collection of Bill Savory, a quirky and secretive studio engineer in New York whose day job in the late 1930s and early 1940s was transcribing radio broadcasts for foreign distribution, and whose nighttime passion was turning on the disc recorders to pull in and preserve what was happening in the clubs of New York City and other cities. Mosaic Records presents “The Savory Collection” – six CDs with 108 tracks locked away for more than 70 years and finally available on CD for the very first time anywhere. For us at Mosaic, it’s the “find” that has us re-examining an era we thought we knew inside out.Īnd now, for listeners, it’s an historic and fleeting opportunity to own a treasure trove of previously unknown music. Everything from Miller to Fats to Basie and even a Martin Block Jam Session photo from the studios of WNEW.įor Loren Schoenberg of the Jazz Museum of Harlem, it’s the discovery that capped nearly forty years of searching. We have brought together some rare photos of the various artists in this set many of which are unknown.They are broadcast material that was professionally recorded onto lacquer discs and aluminum discs by Bill Savory and through today’s advances have been lovingly restored by the pre-eminent engineer and restoration engineer Doug Pomeroy. What makes this set so unique is that practically every one of these recordings have never been heard before.Loren is the man responsible for bringing to light these storied recordings which were taken off the air and his in-depth knowledge of the music and history of these long awaited recordings is one of the highlights of recorded jazz history. There is no better person to write these notes than the celebrated Loren Schoenberg who has written so many of our Mosaic booklets.“Imagine finding an unknown play by Shakespeare or an unknown novel by Mark Twain,” said Schoenberg upon hearing the recordings. Six CDs with 108 tracks locked away for more than 70 years and finally available on CD for the very first time anywhere.
