Our look at releases on the Savoy label continues with this 1954 LP of Paul Williams tracks which were recorded between 1948 and 1951. In the late 1940s Savoy had a series of big R&B hits with saxophone instrumentals such as "Bubbles" by Wild Bill Moore, "The Hucklebuck" and "Thirty-Five Thirty" by Paul Williams, "Corn Bread" by Hal Singer and "Deacon's Hop" by Big Jay McNeely.
See the post "Rhythm and Blues Volume 1" for these hits. We'll be looking at some of these sax players again in upcoming posts, including another look at Paul Williams.

Many thanks, again, boogiewoody!
Thanks a lot for these last efforts about the savoy reconstruction. Nice to hear Illinois Jaquet or this new to me Paul Williams.
Boogiewoody,
Thanks very much for the blogroll link. Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible for me to access these great LPs, as I can't get into zippy. I don't know what happened, as it used to be effortless. Hence, the recent lack of comments 'cause I can't listen to the tunes. (Fortunately, I can still read your informative commentary though.)
;-)
Hi Marie
I can still get into zippyshare - I recently downloaded a couple of those marvelous R&B comps that The Blues Years has posted in the last week or two. Sometimes access to zippy can be problematic - it seems to occasionally host ads, some of which are OK but sometimes there are ads which can cause my browser to seize up when I refuse to download the doubtful software on offer. Maybe your adblocker is blocking access?

Absolutely no problem at all with Zippy for me. In fact it is hands down my favorite. Yes, I get several pop-ups but just close them, have never had anything muck up my system.
Cheers Bob. Yes, by and large Zippy works well for me. It's just occasionally that something that isn't a legitimate ad pops up on it and tries to hijack my browser.

Good to see Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams getting some coverage. I have all of the Spanish "Blue Moon" reissues of his work and love them. As a baritone player, his bands always had a "different" sound. You could even argue that he was an influence on the Motown sound since many of those Motown records had a baritone sax as the "bottom" and it gave them a unique sound (until it was imitated by other labels). I hope people will download this great collection of prime Paul Williams!
Thanks for an insightful comment, Bill. I never did buy those Blue Moon CDs of Paul Williams - wish I had! I've got a few Blue Moon CDs on other artists, but now they are very hard to find and expensive when you do. Got more Chronological Classics CDs but again I wish I'd bought more when they were available.
I've got both the Saxophonograph LPs on Paul Williams plus more of his tracks scattered across various Savoy LPs, which is where I've sourced the next homemade comp I'll post on Mr Williams.
BW
repost maybe?!
Hi brian - new link now on the post.
BW

Just dropping by to give my thanks...
