At last in one CD the complete and rare recordings made by the outstanding saxophonist Frank Socolow as a leader.
Frank Socolow was an excellent tenor saxophonist who unfortunately never rose beyond the rank of journeyman. His transitional style on the tenor was heard with many dance bands, which formed the bulk of his employment in the music business. Having worked the reed section for Boyd Raeburn, Buddy Rich, Chubby Jackson and Artie Shaw, Frank was highly acclaimed by his music colleagues yet, as often happens, his fame as a soloist escaped wider notice, which could be direct result of him being such a good section man. The three first tracks features legendary pianist Bud Powell.

A fine tenor saxophonist who never rose beyond the journeyman stage despite his talents, Frank Socolow had a transitional swing-to-bop style. He first worked professionally in 1941 with Jack Melvin and then had stints with Georgie Auld, Ted Fio Rito, Roy Stevens, Van Alexander and Shep Fields. He was featured with Boyd Raeburn's Orchestra in 1944 (and later in 1948 and 1956-57), the short-lived Buddy Rich big band and Chubby Jackson, touring Scandinavia with the latter during 1947-48. Socolow was in Artie Shaw's beboppish big band during 1949-50 and in the late 50's played with Johnny Richards' Orchestra. He recorded with Raeburn, Rich, Jackson, Shaw and Richards plus Sid Catlett, Johnny Bothwell, Buddy DeFranco, Charlie Ventura, Sal Salvador, Terry Gibbs, Cecil Payne, Manny Albam, Gene Krupa, Teddy Charles and Joe Morello (1961) among others. Frankie Socolow also led two sessions of his own: four songs in 1945 with a quintet also including trumpeter Freddy Webster (heard at his best) and pianist Bud Powell, and a full album with a sextet in 1956 for Bethlehem (reissued on CD by Fresh Sound). But despite all of this activity, he remains only a footnote in jazz history.
