Description:
Pianist Fred Elizalde, Filipino born scion of a wealthy and prominent family of Spanish descent, made musical history when on the strength of some modernistic recordings was invited to form a resident dance orchestra to play at London's exclusive Savoy Hotel. Though primarily intended to be a dance band Elizalde, a devote of "hot" music, caused a sensation amongst British musicians and jazz lovers in the fashionable white New Yorker style. Billed as "Fred Elizalde's Hot Combination" during 1928 1929, we have listened to the complete Elizalde ouvre and chosen the cream of their output for this CD. John R.T. Davies has worked his customary magic and the sound quality here is state of the art. |
