The Changing Face Of Harlem, released on Savoy Records in 1976.
Founded by local entrepreneur Herman Lubinsky in Newark, New Jersey, in 1942, Savoy Records went on to become one of the USA's most important labels in jazz and R&B. The label didn't really take off until mid 1944 when it started recording musicians from the vibrant club scene in NYC, both from Harlem and 52nd Street. Savoy was one of a number of small labels in the New York area which picked up on the changes taking place in jazz at that time with other examples being Keynote, Blue Note, Beacon, Manor and National.
This two LP set compiles sides mostly recorded in 1944 with the exception of some Herbie Fields sides from May 1945. The dominant style is small group swing with only the faintest hint of the be bop to come with Charlie Parker's appearance on a couple of the Tiny Grimes tracks.''...

![This photo shows someone [me again] holding a vintage jazz album titled "The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy" on the Candid label. The album cover has a distinctive color-blocked design with a bright yellow section at the top and green sections at the bottom. On the right side of the cover is a photo of Steve Lacy in a dark suit holding a soprano saxophone against an orange background. There's a small circular label in the upper left indicating "GREAT EARLY CLASSICS."
The setting appears to be a well-stocked home library, with extensive bookshelves visible in the background filled with leather-bound volumes and various hardcover books. The shelves are white and well-organized, containing books of different colors including burgundy, brown, black, and other tones.
On one of the shelves behind the album, there's an interesting wooden sculptural object that appears to be curved or abstract in form. There are also some small colored lights (appearing as blue and multi-colored dots) creating an ambient atmosphere in the background. A bookshelf speaker is also visible mounted among the bookshelves.
The person holding the album [👋🏽] is [still] wearing a [friendship] bracelet on their wrist [where else?], similar to the previous photo. [ALT mostly by Claude]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/302/347/119/706/689/original/588f093ddc6ab6d9.jpeg)
![This photo shows someone [me, Claude, me!] holding a vinyl record album in a cozy living room setting. The record is “Somethin’ Else” by Cannonball Adderley, released on the famous Blue Note Records label (catalog number 1595). You can see the distinctive Blue Note circular logo at the top left of the album cover. The album features notable jazz musicians including Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey.
In the background, there’s a [beautiful] woman with blonde hair wearing a black top, sitting in a comfortable living space with a green couch, coffee table, and various household items. The setting has a warm, homey atmosphere with natural lighting coming through what appears to be windows. [uh… it’s night]
This is a classic jazz album - “Somethin’ Else” is actually one of the few albums recorded under Cannonball Adderley’s name that features Miles Davis, making it quite a significant recording in jazz history.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/195/101/514/616/146/original/897a0fee666bdfe5.jpeg)
